AbstractMotivationDelivering high quality distance-based courses in resource limited settings is a challenging task. Besides the needed infrastructure and expertise, effective delivery of a bioinformatics course could benefit from hands-on sessions, interactivity, and problem-based learning approaches.ResultsIn this article, we discuss the challenges and best practices in delivering bioinformatics training in limited resource settings taking the example of hosting and running a multiple-delivery online course, Introduction to Bioinformatics (IBT), that was developed by the H3ABioNet Education and Training Working Group and delivered in 27 remote classrooms across Africa in 2017. We take the case of the University of Khartoum classroom. Believing that our local setting is similar to others in less developed countries, so we also reflect upon aspects like classroom environment and recruitment of students to maximize outcomes.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available
