SUMMARY:Best Practices for NERSC Training
DESCRIPTION:Workshop\n\nBest Practices for NERSC Training\n\nHe, Hartman-B
 aker\n\nDue to the novel pandemic situation, NERSC began transforming our 
 traditional smaller-scale, on-site training events to large-scale, fully v
 irtual sessions for our 8,000 users from 800 projects in 2020. This paper 
 describes the key practices we have developed since the start of this tran
 sformation, including: considerations for organizing events; collaborating
  with other HPC centers and DOE ECP training program to increase reach and
  impact of events; targeted emails to users to increase attendance; effici
 ent management of user accounts for computational resources access; strate
 gies for preventing Zoom bombing; streamlining the publication of professi
 onal-quality, closed-captioned videos on the NERSC YouTube channel for acc
 essibility; effective communication channels for Q&A; tailoring training c
 ontents for NERSC users via close collaboration with vendors and presenter
 s; standardized training procedures and publishing of training materials; 
 and considerations for planning HPC training topics. Most of these practic
 es will be continued after the pandemic as effective norms for training.\n
