Our vision for our free, online trainings is for the curriculum to be added to our library of open education resources, making them free, accessible, and published for anyone to use. And we intend to experiment with delivering this curriculum in an asynchronous, cohort-based manner that allows learners from all over the world to come together for a period of time to work through the curriculum together. If you were part of one of the original cohorts of the <a href="https://dslc.io/">R for Data Science Online Learning Community</a> created by our Community Manager, [Jesse Mostipak](https://github.com/kierisi), then you know that these asynchronous trainings will be thoughtfully crafted, a fantastic learning experience, and a ton of fun!

You can stay up to date with more information on these types of lessons through [our Discourse forum](https://pyopensci.discourse.group/) as well as [our mailing list](https://eepurl.com/iM7SOM).
