This pathway introduces trainers to learning principles, training techniques, lesson, session, course, and material design as well as assessment and feedback. This is has been developed for by trainers in the bioinformatics but is suitable for all trainers and educators in higher education.

Some questions

In order to facilitate learning, we had to learn (a bit) how learning works. But motivation is key to learning. If we want to enhance motivation, we have to learn a bit how motivation works.

We all teach in different ways, share your training philosophy and help other instructors find the way that is best for them!

Assessment is the evaluation or estimation of the nature, quality, or ability of someone or something, while feedback integrate the output of the assessment in the learning process.

The GTN instructors community has just run the largest-ever Galaxy training event: “the GTN Smörgåsbord: A Global Galaxy Course”, co-organized with the Gallantries and the CINECA project and the Galaxy Training Network.

Setting up and running a Galaxy Admin Training is not a very complicated process thanks to a significant amount of work that has been put into making it easy and quick.

UseGalaxy.eu has developed Training Infrastructure as a Service (TIaaS for short) which allows you to use Galaxy with a private queue for your training event. Your trainees’ jobs won’t wait in the main queue, and can be processed much more quickly than they might be otherwise. This can provide the experience of a local, private Galaxy combined with a public Galaxy that you are not responsible for maintaining. Additionally if something goes wrong, you can conveniently blame the Galaxy admins, rather than feeling the stress of debugging and fixing your private Galaxy.
