Teaching with PECAAN

| posted 11 Jun, 2023 14:06
Hello,

I usually use DNAM for teaching and PECAAN for QC, but with the current DNAM connection issue, I may have to use PECAAN for teaching in a week or two in a class of 18. I can come up with something, but if I don't have to reinvent the wheel, I would rather not. So, does anyone have a way of teaching it/with it that they like and want to pass on?

Thanks!

Steve

Hi Steve-

I have a manual update workaround that is not pretty to set up but seems to be functional. I'll reach out via email to set up a time where we can Zoom to discuss. I don't quite have written instructions ready to distribute, but more people testing the strategy will help. Thanks!

Hi Steve,

If you can't get the DNAM workaround from Kristen to work for your class, I'm happy to share how we use PECAAN in our classes (slides and other resources). We use PECAAN first in our annotation classes.

Lee, Thank you for sharing these resources. I came across your message from two years ago and found it very relevant to our current situation. If the offer still stands, I would be extremely grateful to receive your PECAAN slides and any additional teaching materials you've used in your classes.

We've experienced ongoing challenges with DNAM installations in our cohort, and I'm evaluating whether PECAAN could serve as a comprehensive replacement for our entire workflow. Specifically, I'm wondering if it can handle the complete workflow, including QC submission and "Review to Improve" step.

If you've made any updates to your approach since your original post or have insights about potential limitations, I would greatly appreciate your guidance.

Thank you for your time and expertise, and please accept my apologies for reviving an older thread.

Best regards,

Martín

Kristen and Lee,

We have struggled on using DNAM, but I think its day's are numbered. So if you whether it is a formal or informal outline of how you use it, I would be very happy to see what you are doing as I plan for this upcomming winter and the following spring.

Thanks!

Steve
