In preparation for remote teaching this year, I’ve spent the last few weeks converting the Doctoral Training Centre’s ‘Introduction to Computer Programming’ course into a series of Jupyter notebooks so that the course can be run entirely using Google Colaboratory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
In addition to running the practicals online, we’re also recording all of the lectures ahead of time so that students can watch (and re-watch) as they go. Having just written lots of notebooks, my immediate thoughts were ‘wouldn’t it be nice if I could just turn a notebook into a set of slides?’. Well, it turns out that you can, and using the Jupyter notebook extension ‘RISE’, it’s quick and easy. Here’s how it’s done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 1: Install RISE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
RISE is available through PIP or Conda:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once RISE is installed, open a Jupyter notebook. Under View -> Cell Toolbar, there will be a new ‘Slideshow’ option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Enabling this will add add the option to set a slide type to each notebook cell. For example, here I’m working on a notebook to use for a lecture on data structures in python. In the first cell, I specify the width of my slides, but I don’t want this to be displayed as a slide, so I can set it to ‘notes’ or ‘skip’. The second cell is my title slide, made using markdown. The third cell contains some text for a slide, entered using markdown. I also want to display the contents of the fourth cell, a python code cell, on the same slide, so I make it a ‘fragment’. This adds it to the same slide as the previous cell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Finally, clicking the ‘Enter\/Exit RISE slideshow’ icon on the notebook toolbar will render your notebook as a deck of slides in your browser. Here’s how my slide and fragment look:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Hopefully this will be useful to anybody who, like me is scrambling to create online lectures!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
