[pedagogy] Reading list of research about teaching

[Greg Wilson]

Hi everyone,
As background, Software Carpentry has been teaching basic computing 
skills to scientists and engineers off and on since 1998.  Since last 
fall, we've been running a "train the trainers" group online to help 
people find their way through some of the relevant material on 
educational psychology, instructional design, and how all these things 
apply to teaching programming.  We have half a dozen open slots in the 
round that's starting at the beginning of May, and we'll be launching a 
sixth round toward the end of June --- it takes 2-4 hr/week for about 12 
weeks, and if you'd like to take part, please just give me a shout.
Cheers,
Greg Wilson
