Features

  1. Support for executing code in a browser using thebe and mybinderorg!

  2. Structured book with markdown file stubs aligning with a course structure for a 13 week course. Fully versioned using GitHub, automatically deployed using GH Actions to either GH or your own server. Can also be extended with a testing framework for extra peace of mind.

  3. Examples of how to use IFrames to embed web content, @phet_sims, @sli.do polls, videos, and other content.

  4. Powerful built-in annotation and commenting features with hypothes.is and utteranc.es. Annotate your syllabus, course readings, and any other content.

  5. Add persistent checkboxes so students can track their progress through notebooks, exercises and readings.

  6. Allow students to download pages of the site in PDF, link to the source code on your repo, or open in a mybinder notebook.

  7. The JupyterBook can be embedded into Canvas using the Redirect tool so students never have to leave their LMS.

  8. (NEW!) Use of the new substitution feature of myst-parser to configure the course algorithmically from the _config.yml file!

Edit the template for your course

There are a few things you need to do to adapt this template for your course. I might miss a few things, so this list is a work in progress:

  1. In the _config.yml file:

    • Set title of the book (Physics 111)
    • Update author (Firas Moosvi)
    • Update logo image (images/logo.png)
    • Add Google Analytics ID (Optional)
    • Enable/Disable Hypothes.is (remove the line to remove the hypothes.is integration)
    • Configure Utteranc.es repository (Choose one of Hypothesis or Utteranc.es)
    • Adjust extra_footer to control License of course materials
    • Set the substitution parameters under the myst_substitutions

  2. In the _toc.yml file:

    • Arrange the table of contents to add/remove files

  3. In the about and class folders:

    • Edit the .md and .ipynb files with your course content
