I like the new tool, but one comment regarding the cut and paste feature. |

It looked great - it was nice to see where I'm supposed to go for more self training mainly. I assume that the self training will be mostly self explanatory so just an overview is good. Migrating a role to a collection might be a nice example to show. |

I keep running out of time on these labs. My issue (besides being a slow typer) is that cut-n-paste is not an option for my setup: I found an old bug report I switched to Edge/Chromium to continue - right-click menu shows |

One other comment on experience of this: The time seemed short. I had to restart this lab series several times because session expired. I realize there needs to be this control. Could there be a "lab timer" added to the page to help avoid session expiring without warning? or perhaps just set expectation that the session is timebound and needs focused attention to complete in a timely manner. |

I personally thought that the Instruqt courses were great! They were definitely easy to follow along. I took all 5 of the self-paced labs, which helped me understand more about each of the topics. I have only read about these things before, such as developing a module, or integration tests ... it was cool to walk through the steps of "doing" each of them. Frankly, I think in answer to the question of "What could be covered in a future course", my answer won't be helpful, because I say "anything and everything" LOL. I also think some more advanced courses could be created, whether it be around these same 5 topics or others. And maybe in the advanced courses, instead of just copying and pasting, we have to actually code something ourselves, with just general hints in the instructions. Just a thought - I realize that an argument could be made that if the person is at that level, then maybe they should just be trying it out in their own environments. From the suggestions in the "Would any of the following scenarios be useful" section, I personally would be interested in:

I enjoy using instruqt. I learn way better this way than by reading the documentation. Suggestions:

I completed 6 of the 7 offered Tracks, at least in my instruqt Dashboard there was "Ansible Development Environment" and "Red Hat System Roles" available as well. Overall I think it's a good platform and a nice approach because I always prefer Hands-On experience during Training Sessions.
Most of the time yes, there where some minior issues, one due to a wrong Python Version (#57 - already fixed), the other one regarding git (#58). Wasn't a huge problem to solve it on my own but due to the fact that these Tracks are for beginner, I think it's quite important that it works if someone follow exactly the instructions.
Have already some experience with Ansible and probably doing most of the instruqt tracks after working a lot on my first PR during the Hackathon wasn't the best idea.
The Question is probably what i think could be covered in future courses. Hard to say, the tracks are for beginner from a "Ansible Collection Contribution" perspective, there is a ton of knowledge around expected. On the other side we saw that people already struggled with using
Yes to all of them. Further suggestions: As mentioned in another Post, it might increase the user experience when direct SSH Access to the Lab VMs would be provided. That way People are free to use whatever Tools they want for connecting and editing. |

Hi Everyone,
The Ansible Community is thinking about better ways to help onboard new contributors and share Ansible knowledge to community users, as part of this, we are wondering about different ways to deliver documentation as training.
We are happy to launch some interactive training scenarios on the Instruqt: an interactive learning and hands-on virtual IT lab platform to get people used to develop and adopt Ansible.
Currently Available Scenarios:
We suggest the following order for the labs, though each lab is stand alone, so feel to pick what you are interested in.
New scenario ideas are welcome and you can share your ideas in this discussion.
Feedback wanted❤️
You can leave your feedback in the comments sections below and guess what! We will randomly select some people that leave feedback to send some special swag to.
Would any of the following scenarios be useful:
Source code
The source code for the scenarios is available in https://github.com/ansible/instruqt Pull Requests are welcome.
