Lab course transition to PsychoPy Studio - questions and seeking advice

Hello - searched for this topic in the forum and didn’t turn anything up recent.

I taught a lab class with PsychoPy (using primarily Builder) last winter semester using the PsychoPy text as a required reading for the course. It was a learning curve, but it went really well.

Now that there is a transition to PsychoPy Studio, wondering about the following topics in order to prepare optimally for this course in Winter 2027.

  1. will the text book be updated anytime soon?

  2. if I use all the experiment scripts created from last year’s course developed with older versions, are there known issues that will arise if I exclusively use PsychoPy Studio throughout the course from the outset?

  3. are there any known compatibility issues with legacy open source experiment files and PsychoPy studio that I should be aware of?

  4. I would like to share some of the scripts we developed for the course, and I wondered if there was a central repository for people who are using PsychoPy to teach courses specifically. It would be great to have a separate part of the forum dedicated to teaching lab courses. All of the scripts were run locally, though I hope to play around with figuring out how to deploy remotely using an in-house JATOS server.

  5. any other general advice?

Thanks so much!
