Pyfar Tutorial Videos

Idea

• Produce tutorial videos based on example notebooks to post on youtube
• Target audience: students and researchers in acoustics
• Produce short and focused videos (e.g. one for signal and one for filters instead of one introducing multiple aspects at once)
• Organize a 2-3 day retreat in spring 2027 to produce the videos at TU Berlin with the help of the Team digit (Video studio with green screen and light board available)
• Get funding from DEGA or EAA

Tips from TUB team digit

• Have rather short videos up to 10 minutes (more might be fine for our target audience)
• Prepare a story board in advance
• Add interactive aspects, e.g.
  • small task beyond what is shown in the notebook at the middle/end of a tutorial
  • suggestions for further tutorials

ToDo

• Decide on date
• Secure funding
• Finalize list of tutorials
• Assign persons to tutorials
• ...

Start by reviewing the example notebooks that are proposed as the basis for the tutorials. Use the listed video topics and planning checklist to define the scope, participants, schedule, and funding needs; done means the tutorial list and production plan are agreed.
