A Course is an actual academic course that involves HFOSS, typically by using Pathways and Learning Activities.

Using This Format

The format shown below contains sections which describe the items that should be included when creating a Course. To use this format:

  1. Create a new page with the course name, institution, and author. For example: Software Engineering, Muhlenberg, Kussmaul
  2. Copy the source for this format into your new page.
  3. Follow instructions to fill in the sections below.
  4. Categorize the page using tags at the bottom of the page.
    • Include [[Category:Courses]]
    • Add relevant subcategory(s) from the list in, e.g. [[Category:CS1]]
    • Remove [[Category:Format]], since this page is a format, but your new page is not.
  5. Use the Discussion tab (upper left of the page) to leave feedback to the author(s) of the course, such as usage or suggestions for enhancements.
