Hello,
I'm working on some curriculum to teach programming and data literacy in an active learning setting. The last training I was at I watched instructors struggling with keeping everything visible on a screen in a way that students could see. I watch a lot of content like Critical Role and StarCraft II tournaments on Twitch and though it might be cool if we could do something like one of those overlays but instead of showing game footage and your face we show the Jupyter Notebook, Etherpad, or whatever else you are working with.
That doesn't seem to be the hard part. After playing around with the software it seems very doable. The problem I am running into is how I would output this. It seems like an extra step (and potential failure point) to broadcast this just to stream it on monitors in the same room. Would there be any way to set the output of the software up in such a way that it could be displayed on a projector or different monitor instead? Or any means of streaming that run less of a risk of being a pain to maintain and keep running (or perhaps I am overestimating the difficulty and underestimating the reliability)?
I'm fairly tech savvy but this is an area I've never dabbled in before and was hoping that some of you with more experience might have some suggestions or starting points (or advise me to abandon this line of thinking if it doesn't seem feasible). A search of the forums to date didn't find anything that seemed relevant (or I lack the understanding to recognize the relevance).
Thank you!
