It is part of my job to showcase to them\n+the return on investment that they'll see in various areas. The three areas in\n+which this is most apparent are impacts on skills transfer to learners who\n+attend workshops, the lesson material that is publicly available and built by\n+the community and the capacity building that comes from mentoring instructors\n+who are thinking about impactful instruction in short workshops.  \n+\n+In order to better arrange my ideas I decided to draw a Venn Diagram  with\n+circles for Lessons, Learners and Instructors. I've tried to use this diagram to\n+build my own mental model for how what we do in terms of core activities can\n+scale and grow. Through this process I've come to think of the structure in this\n+diagram as  podular, or a fractal element that repeats at various community\n+scales such as university, research network, nation or worldwide.\n+\n+![The Components of Software Carpentry](/files/2016/03/venn_diagram.png)\n+\n+At each of our partner organizations we may have lessons, instructors and\n+learners with their own unique and local perspectives, working toward impactful\n+workshops that are appropriate for their own community. Internationally, we are\n+working toward spreading consensus lessons and ethos of using open source tools\n+for open and collaborative science to scientific communities via our workshops\n+while using evidence based teaching methods.\n+\n+These workshops sit at the nexus of the diagram and in many ways showcase, in a\n+focused event, what it is that we stand for. They reflect the impacts we would\n+like to have on changing how science is thought about in the context of\n+computation. The brands \"Software Carpentry\" and \"Data Carpentry\" reflect a\n+particular set of opinionated lessons arranged to have specific impacts on\n+learners. This is why we work so hard to make sure that a workshop called\n+\"Software Carpentry\" or \"Data Carpentry\" is being taught using our methods (the\n+instructor is \"badged\") and with instructors who have studied the\n+community-developed lessons.\n+\n+Locally when we deliver a workshop we're working to bring together lessons\n+learners, and instructors that can deliver impactful workshops. To be prepared\n+for this we strive to convince learners that spending two days with\n+these lessons and our instructors will be impactful and helpful to how they\n+work. When you put this all together, we're not just developing training and\n+delivering workshops, we as a community collectively own the lessons and are\n+advancing, testing and refining the evidence based teaching best practices that\n+we share with the uninitiated and reinforce through our instructor training.","path":"_posts/2016/03/2016-03-01-venn-diagram.md","position":52,"original_position":52,"commit_id":"5e4ec8286e141270b7b3455e72e29afd3a6dd3a9","original_commit_id":"5e4ec8286e141270b7b3455e72e29afd3a6dd3a9","user":{"login":"gvwilson","id":911566,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/911566?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/gvwilson","html_url":"https://github.com/gvwilson","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/gvwilson/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/gvwilson/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/gvwilson/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/gvwilson/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/gvwilson/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/gvwilson/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/gvwilson/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/gvwilson/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/gvwilson/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"body":"How about \"others\" rather than \"the uninitiated\" ?
