Content Introduction

Projects

Our HTML&CSS Course is project-based - students learn by working on hands-on projects. Each project is broken into weekly milestones.

Weekly Schedule

• Thursday: Introduce new concepts and the next milestone

• Thursday - Tuesdays: Students work on their milestone

• Tuesdays: Students present their milestones in the Coaching Session

Teaching Materials

Resource Type	Platform	Description
Projects	GitHub	Contains all course projects. Includes weekly milestones.
Lessons	GitHub	In the GitHub repo, you find in every milestone folder a lesson.md for each week. It contains guidelines on how to teach the session.
Student Hub	Gitbook	Student-facing documentation, tutorials, and concept explanations. Students use this as their main reference.

Overview by Session

Session	Material & Descriptions
Regular Class	Use lesson.md to teach new concepts. The file explains how to approach the session, what topics to cover, and how you can introduce the concepts with an example. You find the lesson.md files in the respective milestone folders in GitHub. At the end of each Regular Class, we introduce the students to the next milestone (what students work on until next Tuesday). Milestone README.md outlines the next project milestone. We have additional resources from previous semesters, including slide decks, exercises, etc., linked in Course Content. Further explanations and resources are shared with the students via the Student Hub.
Coaching Session	No teaching is needed. Focused on reviewing student work and providing feedback. Reviewing the milestoneREADME.mdt helps to understand what the milestone contains students are working on.

Let's have a look at the Material

• GitHub: You can find all files in our GitHub Repo. Do you see the lessons and teacher guides?

• Additional Material: Check out prior slide decks and exercises here Course Content

• Student Hub: The student hub is the "knowledge base" for the students where they find extra resources about the concepts being covered in the course. It is currently under construction. We will share it with you soon!

How to work with the material?

You are free to change the material as you like! If you believe slides are needed to explain a concept, do it! If you would explain a concept differently, go for it.

We know the material is not perfect! For sure, parts are not so clear and can be improved. Please help us to improve it further! If something is unclear or missing - feel free to add it! Thanks to your contribution, we can improve the material in the future!

Prior Material?

If you taught in the past semester at ReDI, you might have existing material you would like to reuse. That is fantastic! Let's update the repository for this course with your material. Please add the content in the repo in the right milestone. If you have Google Slides, please link them to the lesson or teacher guide files. You can also reach out to us on Slack or via email ([e-mail]) for further questions on how to add or use prior material.

How to teach? Best Practices!

We share several best practices in the Course Content section. For example, the concept of "How little is enough?" or the "I Do, We Do, You Do" methodology. In the end, it is your decision how you want to teach it. We recommend to browse through the concepts before teaching a session: Course Content.
