Coincidentally, I'm currently working on a project to make IPython an (even) better tool for instruction and writing interactive 'textbooks', like what OP has done.
If anybody on here is an instructor who has a similar workflow, or is interested in trying something like this out, please drop me a line. We're in the middle of researching the most important areas for improvement, and we'd love to hear your feedback!
(EDIT: Email my username at Google's email service.)
- japhyr 13y agoI am interested. Having started to use this workflow in teaching programming, I find myself wishing again that educators had better dedicated tools. We need tools that allow teachers, in their core subject areas, to focus on building strong curriculum in that subject area. Architects have CAD software, programmers have dedicated text editors and IDEs. Educators need curriculum development tools that let them focus on difficult and interesting pedagogical issues, not on formatting and version control issues. How do I get in touch?
- fperez_org 13y agoPlease ping us on the ipython-dev mailing list; the core team is all made up of academics and we have a strong interest in educational uses (we're using it for our own courses), so it will be good to coordinate/share ideas on this front.
- tmarthal 13y agoHave you see the Data Science course being presented at Harvard this semester? All of the lectures go through ipython notebooks and they turn in the assignments by submitting their notebooks. The url is http://cs109.org http://cs109.org (with the relevant lectures at http://cs109.org/readings.php http://cs109.org/readings.php). Could be a source for additional information.
