Some points we discussed:

Let’s collaborate and share our thoughts and experiences via the participants list!

Provide students with USB drives with the setup

  • Use a virtual machine

trollet as an alternative for emacs

Try to get students to come to class with laptops and go through installation

  • Need to have time to dedicate an entire section (or 2!)

Record demo for LKB

  • Use YouTube Series of videos?

    • Whenever you learn something yourself, consider recording it

Motivate the long instructions

  • Emphasize the step by step approach: do the homework as you are reading the instructions

Problem: people are scared of command line and simplistic UI

  • How to solve?..
