Welcome to the MEDS mkdocs template

Welcome to the MEDS Course Website template! This template is made with MkDocs, a a fast, simple and downright gorgeous static site generator that's geared towards building project documentation. This method for creating a course website may make the most sense for MEDS teachers who are familiar with python, Markdown, git and GitHub (or who want to learn!). For those of you who do not want to create your website with mkdocs, but still want a course website, check out Course-in-a-Box to create a site with no prior coding experience.

For those wanting to take the mkdocs path: this template acts as both a starting point for your site, and place to learn basics ways to customize it (different topics currently populate the different modules, which I expect teachers will replace with different weeks or lessons or topics as useful for your courses).

Some starting points:

  • Follow along with the "Getting started with the MEDS mkdocs template" instructions to set up your own mkdocs website. Please reach out to Kelly for help getting your website started, and submit problems and suggestions as issues here.

  • The "Weekly materials" section of this template site can be updated with your course materials, but also in this template serves the additional purpose of showing you how to customize some things on your page.

  • See the EDS 217 Website for an example of what a customized live course site can look like using this template.

TO UPDATE THIS PAGE: Open and edit the index.md file, in the project root, to delete this placeholder text and customize with your own!
