Reviewer suggestion: I think Stefania Druga (@stefania11) would be a suitable reviewer for this submission. Thank you very much.

csev commented 6 years ago

Hey @joonro - sorry for the delay. Thanks for your submission. I like the paper and topic a lot. I think we need to explore new ways or authoring, reusing, and remixing each other's content - and in particular doing so though github. A couple of quick questions. (1) There is a ?? in the paper - does that need to be resolved? (2) looking at both the paper and your Repo, I was hoping to find a link to an example web site / course that uses this approach, and (3) if you have an example of any kind of remix / reuse of course materials I think that it would be s nice addition. I understand that even if we prepare for (3) it does not always happen - I just thought I would ask.

joonro commented 6 years ago

Dear @csev - thank you so much for the comments and sorry for the late reply. I have been away for a conference and just got back. I will respond to your comments soon!

joonro commented 6 years ago

@csev, Regarding your question (1), I just fixed the citation with joonro/Org-Coursepack@d667599e137a044d182c7656cd5895bb098bfbb0 - I removed underscores in the BibTeX Key. I'm not sure how to update the compiled pdf file so I cannot verify that the issue is fixed at the moment, but I hope this was the issue.

joonro commented 6 years ago

@csev, the typo (??) in the citation is indeed fixed. Thank you for pointing this out.

Regarding your point (2), I created the documentation for Org-Coursepack as a mini-course using Org-Coursepack. The link to the course materials (https://joonro.github.io/Org-Coursepack/) is on the Usage section of the README on the repo. In addition, the compiled lecture notes are in the Lectures directory. I can add links to these in the paper so they are easier to find.

In terms of (3), I have used this to create content for two courses, Marketing Research and Marketing Analytics. These two courses share a significant amount of materials, so I use and mix the modules to meet the need for each course. If these are what you are looking for, I would be happy to provide parts of them (e.g., a couple of lectures) as examples, as some course materials (e.g., exam questions) are private.

I hope I understood your questions correctly, if not, please let me know so I can provide you with further information or materials.

csev commented 6 years ago

@joonro - Thanks for the updates. I just want to go from the paper to some sample course materials with the fewest possible clicks. And while the Org-Coursepack documentation technically is a course - a link to a real course would be more satisfying. I think the best solution would be to add another section to https://github.com/joonro/Org-Coursepack README.md titled "Courses that Use This" (or something similar) and have the links there. You could put one or two links in the paper as well - but to me the most important thing is in the README.

joonro commented 6 years ago

@csev Understood! Thank you very much for your input - I agree I think an actual course content would be ideal here. I will let you know once I add this.

joonro commented 6 years ago

Dear @csev,

Thank you again for the constructive suggestion. Per your request, I have updated the repo with two example courses: Introduction to Regression Analysis with Excel and Introduction to Regression Analysis with Python. These example courses, which are based on actual business courses that I taught in recent years, highlight the how the Org-Coursepack can help instructors reduce redundancy and increase efficiency by utilizing modularity in creating course materials.

We believe these example courses are ideal to showcase the Org-Coursepack, since they share a large portion of course materials (both courses involve teaching fundamental statistical concepts, such as hypothesis testing and regression) but also includes some course-specific materials (one course uses Excel and the other uses Python as computational tools for analyses). Users can easily see how to mix and match course content using the Org-Coursepack from these two example courses,.

Please note that we added links to these example courses in README as you instructed.

Thank you very much for your input. Please feel free to let us know should you have any questions or requests.
