Basically any Markdown can be used to describe educational content. Courses can be stored/hosted everywhere github or dropbox, or even IPFS and Hyper (via the Beaker-browser). The only thing you have to provide is the URL to your main README.md as an URL-Parameter:
https://liascript.github.io/course/?https://raw.githubusercontent.com/liaScript/docs/master/README.md https://liascript.github.io/course/?https://raw.githubuserco...
That's basically it. Anyone can create courses and share them her/his audience. No back-end, just a simple WebApp that can also store courses permanently, within the browser ...
Extensions to common-Markdown are:
* Multimedia Extensions: ?[audio](url), !?[video](url), ??[anything](url)
* Text2Speech and Animations to provide a YouTube-like screen-cast feeling
* Quizzes, surveys ...
* Code-Blocks can be made executable and editable
* Automated visualization of data provided within tables
* Embrace the <script> tag
* Extendable with macros and a simple packaging format
* ASCII-Art and more ...
The idea behind this project is, to have a simple language for educational content, which allows anyone to participate in the creation of educational content, by getting away from complex user-interfaces, platforms, vendor-locks, etc.
