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

Using This Template

  2. Copy the source for this template 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]]
