結果:
I organized in September 2019 a one-week workshop in a hybrid set-up (students could attend the workshop either on-site or fully on-line). Beyond the hybrid nature of the workshop, the workshop was "flipped": the workshop attendees had to study some handbook specifically written for the workshop, watch some short videos summarizing the main concepts and answer online quizzes. During the workshop, most of the time was spent on hands-on coding exercises and assignments, during which the workshop attendees had to apply the concepts presented in the handbook and videos.
All coding exercises and assignments were carried out with MATLAB Grader. The platform provided the same coding environment to all workshop attendees, irrespective of whether they attended the workshop on-site or remotely. Furthermore, by providing a coding template and rigorous assessment tests along each exercise, having all students converging to the right "solution" was painless. It allowed me, as a teacher, to entirely focus on helping the students in solving those exercises, which was extremely rewarding.
This teaching set-up, combined with smart IT solutions as e.g MATLAB Grader, favors deep student learning, since the students learn by doing (active learning) and are continuously supported by the teacher in their learning.
I will soon teach in another course along the same principles. The course was supposed to be given on-site only, but because of the outbreak of Covid-19, it will be given entirely online. Thanks to MATLAB Grader, the migration to a online set-up is straightforward.

I will also be glad to answer questions and provide help to those of you who want to get started with online teaching.
