- Students interacting is better than students only listening
- Share your sources and exercises early to get early feedback
- Do not be afraid to share unfinished and badly structured work
- Make it available and restructure later, do not gold-plate too early
- Use ideally Markdown or RST or Jupyter notebooks (easy to generate nice pages from these formats)
- Divide your session into modules and files
- Try to make it interactive: mix type-along sessions with short exercises
- Motivate each session
- Set and document goals for each module
- Mind the cognitive load (better few messages that are clear rather than too much information)
- Involve others to get your material tested
- Create a new repository for each session, makes it easier to move things around
