how do I use cyber-dojo?

cyber-dojo's main use-case is described below.
I recommend two iterations. For example, if you have 2 hours, a schedule might be:

• 5 minutes initial setup - you need to agree an exercise and language+testFramework
• 30 minutes coding - display the dashboard during this time
• 25 minutes review - everyone sees what everyone did!
• 5 minute break
• 30 minutes coding - everyone chooses what they'd like to practice improving
• 25 minutes review - how did we all do?

1. creating your new group-exercise

From the home page one person connects their laptop to a projector...

• click
  we're in a group
• click
  create a new exercise
• click your chosen [exercise?]
• click your choosen [language, tests?]
• click
  ok
• your group-exercise ID will be displayed, eg
  3aF65A
• leave it displayed so the pairs can join...(see step 2)
• when everyone has joined, click
  ok
  to open an exercise dashboard (see step 4)

2. joining your group-exercise

Each pair now joins the group-exercise. Each pair, from the home page...

• click
  we're in a group
• click
  join an exercise
• type in the cyber-dojo's id, eg,
  3aF65A
• wait until your animal is displayed (eg panda)
• click
  ok
• each pair is now in their own test environment

3. doing your group-exercise

From their test environment everyone programs for 30 minutes

• write tests, click
  test
  to see if they fail
• write code, click
  test
  to see if they pass
• each
  test
  click creates a new traffic-light :
  • red if one or more tests failed
  • amber if the tests could not be run (eg syntax error)
  • green if all the tests passed
• remember, cyber-dojo is not a personal development environment
• remember, cyber-dojo is a shared learning environment
• the aim is not to finish, the aim is to improve
• when time is up everyone stops

4. reviewing your group-exercise

The dashboard (from step 1) displays all the animals and their traffic-lights...

• encourage everyone to note down anything they see in the review they'd like to try.
• review each animal's work by clicking on a traffic-light and stepping through their history
• thank each animal for their work.
• when the review is done, ask everyone to form new pairs.
• ask each new pair to compare notes and choose a few things they'd like to try.
• start the second iteration! Goto 1 and create a new group-exercise.
