We use Jekyll Collections to make adding to the course simple. There are 3 items you can add:
- Lectures
- Assignments
- Tutorials
You can also always add your own custom pages in html, or markdown. For more information see the Jekyll Docs.
Create a markdown file in the _lectures folder
Add:
- name
- description
- link
You can see _lectures/lecture_1.md as an example. Rebuild the site and the information will be added to the lectures page.
Repeat the same steps with _assignments.
Repeat the same steps with _tutorials, plus add material outside of the front matter
This will also create a page at /tutorials/<tutorial_name>.html
You can see _tutorials/tutorial-1.md as an example.
