Instructor Notes
Before Teaching This Lesson
TODO: Add notes here…
You are strongly advised to run through the lesson content prior to teaching the lesson to ensure that everything works as expected.
If you experience any issues, please open an issue in the lesson repository describing the problem and platform(s) affected. The lesson maintainers will aim to resolve the issue as soon as possible but we also welcome the opening of pull requests (linked to issues) that resolve anything that doesn’t work as expected with the lesson content.
Miscellaneous Tips
- Timing: Add notes
- Reflection Exercise: At the beginning and end of the workshop, give participants time to reflect on what they want to get out of the workshop (at the beginning) and what they can apply to their work (at the end). Using the shared notes doc is a great way to do this and a good way to make sure that you’ve addressed specific concerns or goals of the participants.
Learner Profiles and Pathways
In this section we provide some details of example learner profiles and suggest some possible different pathways or technical focuses to consider when teaching or planning a lesson based around this Docker material. As such, the information in this section is not designed to define fixed approaches and structures for teaching this material. It is instead aimed to provide ideas and inspiration and to encourage you to think about your audience when preparing to teach this material. The information here is based on both discussions about the intended audiences for this material and on direct experiences of instructors who have taught it at workshops following different technical pathways.
Learner profiles
We begin by providing some example learner profiles to highlight the potential target audience and the types of different research and technical backgrounds that you may find among learners engaging with this material. With these profiles, we aim to encourage you to think about the learners attending your workshop(s) and which episodes it may be most useful to teach.

Considering things from a higher level, we also highlight three core groups of learners, based on job roles, who you may find attending lessons covering this material. While recognising that there are likely to be many learners who don’t fit into one of the following groups, or who span more than one of them, we hope that highlighting these groups helps to provide an example of the different types of skills and expertise that learners engaging with this material may have:
