Course material creation with Classroom #269

Hi GitHub,

I have begun using Classroom with my students and it works fine, thanks !

The next step would be for GitHub to provide a tool or a template to create course material in a standardized way. A few adventurous teachers have already started to tweak Jekyll : example 1, example 2 (in French).

A standardized course creation template/process would facilitate exchange and collaboration between everyone. I hope you'll consider adding it.

You're welcome. Thanks for letting us know that it's working well, it's great to hear.

I've heard this suggestion before, and would love to work on something like that.

If we work on a standardized format, it probably won't impact this application directly as the app can use any repository as a starting point.
