No Building Steps (no configuration)

Your course is parsed and rendered in real-time within the browser at client-side. You only have to provide the URL to your course file. A course is a simple Markdown format with support for:

  • multimedia content & animations
  • text to speech output in different languages
  • quizzes & surveys
  • online programming
  • ASCII-art diagrams & dynamic charts
  • JavaScript by default
  • collaborative classrooms

Open-courSe

You are the owner of your content, but by hosting your course on github you give others the chance to contribute to, to translate, to adapt to your course. There is no single source of truth, so why should there be only one course. With the help of git branches and forks it may be possible to develop course for different students and target audiences.

    JavaScript Ready

    In contrast to other Markdown-parsers you are free to use any JavaScript library you want. This way you can integrate any kind of visualization, simulation, computer-algebra-system, or whatever you might think is useful for your course.
    To simplify the usage of JavaScript and HTML elements, LiaScript provides a macro-system to cover repetitive tasks.
