How to Add a New Course

Personal reference for adding a new course to the current-teaching section.

Steps

  1. Copy the template folder — duplicate TEMPLATE_new-course/ and rename it to the course slug (lowercase, hyphens, no spaces). Example: web-authoring-and-databases/.

  2. Fill in index.md — update the frontmatter (title, subtitle) and fill in each section: Overview, Schedule, Assessments, Resources, Getting Started. Delete or comment out any sections that don't apply yet.

  3. Add subpages as needed — common ones are assessments/index.md, resources/index.md, and a schedule/index.md or per-week pages. No strict structure required — add what's useful.

  4. Link it in current-teaching/index.md — add a line like:

    - [[course-slug/indexCourse Name]]

  5. Set draft: false when ready to publish. While the page is still being built, set draft: true to keep it off the live site.

Notes

  • The 2025–26 content is archived at teaching-materials/DRAFT_prior-teaching/2025-26/ for reference.
  • DRAFT_ prefix on folders means Flowershow won't publish them even if draft: false — remove the prefix when you're ready for the folder to go live.
