🏅 How we do that

TeachBooks: Interactive Textbooks for dummies + Git in education: how to collaborate and communicate with code + Anything that you would like to see in MUDE (or already see) that can help you out in MSc courses that follow on later.

👩‍🏫 We welcome teaching staff in MSc courses

And anyone who is interested in our use of interactive online textbooks and our didactic vision on how we and our students can communicatie with code.

📍Where and when

GitHub
Workflow

April 16th, 2024:

Hi TeachBooks-enthusiasts! One of our TA's (Severin Bratus 🙌) developed a workflow which allows you to publish your TeachBook online. And even better, it allows you to deploy all branches, so that you don't have to deal with local jupyter book build book command-line headaches 🤕! Our template book makes use of this, but you can use this features yourself in around 20 clicks 🖱. We've updated our documentation in our manual ! I'm curious about your thoughts on this! Kind regards, Tom van Woudenberg Ps. did I mention that all of this is not possible without our BSc-computer-science-TAs 🤓 💪

April 26th, 2024: New updates! With: A nice summary of all the branches that are deployed A clear list of errors in book building process Option to select which branch should remove chapter you don't want students to see

Share content
between books

April 18th 2024:

Hi Open Interactive Textbooks Community, Here I am again 😀 presenting our newest feature: share content between books 📘↔️📕! With our growing stock of books we got the question from Oriol Colomes Gene on how to share content between books, which boils down to sharing source code in between Git repositories (but specifically for books). Caspar Jungbacker implemented this using git submodules and we developed an example and documentation for it in our manual . Actually, this book in the manual is actually the readme of the example git repository which is included into the book using the exact same workflow it describes🤯! We think this feature is very valuable and are using it in other books now already! It's an elegant feature, but requires a bit more experience with Git 🤓 (user type 4-5 for those familiar with our manual). However, for those of you who hate using the command line (like me 🤝), GitHub desktop is remarkably helpful with these submodules. Looking forward to your thoughts again! Kind regards, Tom van Woudenberg

PS. Actually our TA Caspar Jungbacker 💪 created this a few months ago but we were to busy doing other stuff that we never properly tested it on both GitHub and GitLab and didn't write extensive documentation on it 🙈. One of our other colleagues Iuri Barcelos Carneiro M Da R was already using it quite extensively but was too busy too share his finding 😒😉.... But it's exam period, so there was time enough to throw some attention at it 🤭.

Hi Collaboration Corner, Look what Max Ramgraber made! A tutorial on how to embed existing or custom HTML/javascript elements for the smoothest interactive element you've ever seen in a TeachBook!
