The Lesson Life Cycle

-

The Carpentries -Incubator is a space for The Carpentries community to collaborate on -lessons. It provides a single location where our community can come to -find lessons that are being developed by the community, and to create -new lessons using The Carpentries Workbench. Community members retain -ownership of their lessons hosted in the Incubator, while benefiting -from the increased findability it gives to the lesson.

-

The Carpentries supports the lesson developer community working in -the Incubator with training (like this one), communications designed to -raise awareness of lesson projects within the community, and platforms -for the community to discuss and collaborate on lesson development.

-

The Carpentries also provides a space for community-developed lessons -to reside after the initial phases of development have been completed. -The Carpentries Lab provides -a platform for open peer-review of lessons, and hosts the collection of -lessons that have passed through this review process. These -peer-reviewed lessons can be considered ready to teach by any Instructor -with sufficient knowledge of the topic. In the future, this lesson -review process may also be used to determine when a lesson in the -Incubator is ready to be incorporated into one of The Carpentries -Lesson Programs, the collection of lessons and curricula that -can be taught in an official workshop for Software, Library, or Data -Carpentry.

        The Lesson Life Cycle

        -

        The Carpentries -Incubator is a space for The Carpentries community to collaborate on -lessons. It provides a single location where our community can come to -find lessons that are being developed by the community, and to create -new lessons using The Carpentries Workbench. Community members retain -ownership of their lessons hosted in the Incubator, while benefiting -from the increased findability it gives to the lesson.

        -

        The Carpentries supports the lesson developer community working in -the Incubator with training (like this one), communications designed to -raise awareness of lesson projects within the community, and platforms -for the community to discuss and collaborate on lesson development.

        -

        The Carpentries also provides a space for community-developed lessons -to reside after the initial phases of development have been completed. -The Carpentries Lab provides -a platform for open peer-review of lessons, and hosts the collection of -lessons that have passed through this review process. These -peer-reviewed lessons can be considered ready to teach by any Instructor -with sufficient knowledge of the topic. In the future, this lesson -review process may also be used to determine when a lesson in the -Incubator is ready to be incorporated into one of The Carpentries -Lesson Programs, the collection of lessons and curricula that -can be taught in an official workshop for Software, Library, or Data -Carpentry.

        The Lesson Life Cycle -

        To make it easier for other community members to assess the current -state of a lesson in the Incubator, The Carpentries encourages lesson -developers to indicate the status of their lesson by labelling its -progress through a lesson life cycle:

        +

        An open source lesson can always be updated and may never be +finished. It can undergo many iterations before it reaches a +relatively stable state. To reflect this, The Carpentries encourages +lesson developers to indicate the status of their lesson by labelling +its progress through a lesson life cycle:

        Diagram of the life cycle of a lesson in The Carpentries ecosystem. A lesson is proposed at the beginning of the pre-alpha stage. It enters alpha when it is taught for the first time. In beta, it is taught by other instructors. A full release of the lesson is made when it is stable. Pilot workshops take place during the alpha and beta phases. The Carpentries Lab hosts open peer review of lessons that have completed the beta phase.

        Connecting with the Lesson Developer Community

        With over 100 lessons under development in The Carpentries Incubator, -the lesson developer community is thriving. Connecting with this -community can be a great way to find collaborators to contribute to or -test your lesson, to stay up to date with the latest support provided to -the community, and to learn from the experience of others.

        The Carpentries +Incubator hosts a thriving community of lesson developers, working +on lesson projects at every stage of the life cycle.

        You can add your lesson project(s) to the Incubator by submitting an +issue to [the Incubator Proposals repository][incubator-proposals]. +Lesson developers working in the Incubator benefit from increased +visibility for their projects and dedicated support from The Carpentries +team.

        +

        The Carpentries provides pathways for mature lessons to leave the +Incubator.

        +
        1. A mature lesson may join an existing lesson +program, e.g. Data Carpentry, Library Carpentry, or Software +Carpentry, subject to review and approval by the relevant [Curriculum +Advisory Committee][curriculum-advisors].
          2. +
        2. Developers can submit their lessons for open peer +review in The +Carpentries Lab, which hosts a growing collection of high-quality, +stable lessons created by the community. Developers submitting to the +Lab have the option of publishing their lesson in The Journal of Open Source Education +(JOSE).

        A lesson does not need to be stable to be useful to the community: +lessons with alpha and beta status are already valuable resources to be +taught and reused.
