This repository contains guidance and some best practices for both instructors and attendees in order to transition our in-class, Carpentries-style instruction to completely remote, online learning.
This is a significant shift for all persons, and for that reasons, we are providing information that will help with preparation and in-class learning, with the goal of not only maximizing the learning potential but also to provide an comfortable, social learning experience. These resources are not exhaustive; and we urge the community to contribute (see below).

- Guidelines for Attendees
