Coursefork (http://coursefork.org http://coursefork.org) -- github for education.
We're trying to open-source the entire education system, starting with creating an easy way for materials and processes to become "forkable".
- Fork, for example, an MIT OCW course.
- Make modifications.
- Submit a pull request back to MIT with your changes, or, just teach from your own fork.
- mindcrime 13y agoThis is amazingly cool. I was excited about this from the first time Elliot mentioned it to me, and I'm thrilled to see how far you guys have come. Way to represent the Triangle!
- martindale 13y agoThanks, Phil! Let's make sure to catch up between now and demo day. :)
- mindcrime 13y agoAbsolutely. I put a "todo" on my list to ping you as soon as I got home from ATO the other day. Look for an email soon...
- zarify 13y agoThis looks awesome, I hope it's successful. Are you planning on keeping it slide-based or incorporating other types of media in there as well?
- eah13 13y agoHey there- cofounder of coursefork here. Other types of media are very important to successful teaching, so they're very important to us. We're rolling out updates soon that will support not just other media types but nested organization of courses so you can have multiple sessions. All part of refining that alpha :)
- dasmithii 13y agoCool idea! So many teachers "fork" course material already, but are limited by location, copyright, and inconvenience. The idea has huge potential; good luck!
