Description
CodeRefinery is a project funded by Nordic e-infrastructure collaboration (NeiC) supporting students and researchers across all research domains by teaching "good enough" FAIR (Findable Accessible Interoperable Reproducible) research software development practices. Among other activities, the project has enabled us to conduct interactive hands-on online and free workshops for over 500 registrants at a time. The workshops are live streamed and combine co-teaching, asynchronous questions and answers as well as parallel local meetups. A few years ago, we switched from the traditional online teaching style to this new format, which required adjusting to alternative technologies and mindset. With this contribution we would like to present how interactive online workshops improve research software training and discuss effective methods for teaching FAIR research software practices.
