It's a lot (as in months) of work to produce a true online course, and the 
material becomes dated very quickly!

The static material from courses is at 
http://bioconductor.org/help/course-materials/

The 'community' page http://bioconductor.org/help/course-materials/ includes 
links to some videos and on-line material, including the EdX MOOC: PH525x Data 
Analysis for Genomics and some initial videos produced here 
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=bioconductor.

We haven't looked at the infrastructure or cost (including opportunity cost) 
required to live stream three days worth of material (probably including 2 days 
worth of 'um' and 'oops'); maybe there's a sponsor out there willing to provide 
us with technical and financial support for this?

The obstacles to making video available for the lecture part of our courses is 
becoming smaller, so it is not impossible to imagine that these will become part 
of the Bioc video collection (no promises with respect to the current course).

While obviously not scalable, there are many training events offered each year 
http://bioconductor.org/help/events/.

Hope that helps,

Martin
