An open-source project for creating online courses, built by P2PU

Course-in-a-Box is a free tool for building and publishing online courses — no prior coding experience required.

To create your own course, simply fork this repository and delete the CNAME file. Detailed documentation is available at course-in-a-box.p2pu.org.

To make changes to the template itself, a good place to start is the _layouts, _includes and css directories. These directories contain all the layout and style files used.

Adding figures

The jekyll-figure module has been added to this repository. To make figures, enclose images in {% figure %} markdown and use the class "caption", i.e.

{% figure [caption: "The Figure Caption"] [class: "caption"] %}

![The Alt Text for the Image](../img/the_image.jpg)

{% endfigure %}

As a convention, images can be placed in an img/ folder created within the module directory and linked as per the above example.
