See the agenda here. The recorded video tutorial elaborated on using LiaScript for creating interactive online courses, covering basics of markdown, progressive web apps, offline access, distributed education methods, classroom creation, and hardware sharing in the browser. You can repeat all the steps by your own by using the following URL as a bootstrap:

Konzepte und Erfahrungen bei der Realisierung dezentraler, offener Lehrmaterialien mit LiaScript (German)

Dies ist ein Mitschnitt des Workshops, der auf auf der DELFI-Tagung 2023 in Aachen gegeben wurde. https://delfi-tagung.de/delfi-2023/workshops-tutorials LiaScript implementiert als Markdown-basierte Beschreibungssprache für Lehrinhalte die zentralen Konzepte von Open Educational Ressources. Basierend auf einer textuellen Darstellung, ohne zentrale Infrastruktur, können Lehrmaterialien ähnlich Open-Source-Softwareprojekten in einer Community entwickelt, geteilt und geprüft werden. Das Tutorial gibt einen Überblick über den Stand des Projektes und führt die Teilnehmer:innen in die Basiskonzepte und Nutzungsmuster ein.

Digital Fellows im Spotlight: OER als Grundlage für und Ergebnis von digital gestützter Lehrpraxis

Das Digital Fellows Programm in Sachsen fördert die Entwicklung und Umsetzung digitaler Lehr- und Lernkonzepte an Hochschulen. Teilnehmende, bekannt als Fellows, implementieren innovative Projekte in verschiedenen Fachbereichen, um die digitale Bildung zu stärken. Sie arbeiten an Themen wie der Verbesserung von Lehrkompetenzen mittels Technologie, der Entwicklung von multimedialen Lernmodulen und der Förderung digitaler Kompetenzen. Ziel ist es, flexible Lernprozesse zu unterstützen und die Hochschullehre durch den Einsatz digitaler Tools zu bereichern.

Where is Content Stored?

Did you know that LiaScript tries to be agnostic as possible, when it comes to hosting? The thing is, you host your content by your own and only refer to it, via a URL-Parameter that you attach to the LiaScript website. https://LiaScript.github.io/course/?THE_URL_TO_YOUR_COURSE.md Git - Platforms Although, we prefer GitHub & git for versioning, hosting, and publishing, you should be able to use any versioning system or platform to host your course content.

Tables & Data Visualizations

If Markdown tables are used to store data, why not directly visualizing it? LiaScript offers 10 different types of plots, the best type is automatically chosen, based on the format of a table and its values… but you are free to use your desired one ;-) You can use this this example as a basis for your own course by following this link … Or experiment with it in the LiveEditor below:

eLearning Africa 2023

Instant Creation & Publishing of Free and Open Online Courses with LiaScript LiaScript is a language-based approach to free and open education. This workshop will demonstrate how LiaScript can be used to create sustainable and extendable open educational resources (OER) that are interactive, engaging, and even work offline. In contrast to complex user-interfaces and memorising lots of point and click events, participants will work with simple text-files only. LiaScript is based on Markdown, which is founded on ideas around simplicity, adaptability and extendibility.

Invitation to eLearning Africa 23

We will have a full-day workshop at the eLearning Africa conference in Dakar on creating free and open interactive courses with LiaScript Markdown … No platform no, no login, just OER and publish immediately (works offline too) https://www.elearning-africa.com/conference2024/programme_workshops_detail.php?ws=FD2 Here is a follow up in french … If you already want to try this out, checkout the online editor:

How can Web 3.0 save Education?

The University Future Festival 2023 was an event hosted by the Hochschulforum Digitalisierung and the Stiftung Innovation in der Hochschullehre. The event was held both in-person and online from April 26 to April 28, 2023. The festival was designed to be “Digital first”, meaning all aspects of the festival could be experienced online, with physical stages in various locations in Germany offering additional networking opportunities festival.hfd.digital. The festival addressed a broad spectrum of topics related to the opportunities and challenges of digital transformation.

Sharing Content via Tor and OnionShare

Why should something like Tor or the Dark-Net be relevant in education at all? If you look at the world map, it quickly becomes clear that the internet is not as free and open as it might seem from Germany. In this map, we have deliberately omitted China and North Korea to give other countries the chance to turn “red” too. Looking at the current situation in Afghanistan, it becomes evident that the right to education is simply not available in many places.

How to make your Markdown code-snippets editable and executable? Our solution, just attach a script-tag to it that defines how the input or inputs should be evaluated… You can use this this example as a basis for your own course by following this link … Or experiment with it in the LiveEditor below:

Macros

How can you define custom macros or even define reusable LiaScript libraries? Just use @ followed by a custom name for your macro You can add parameters Shortcut macros, that call others predefined parameters And block-macros not that difficult You can use this this example as a basis for your own course by following this link … Or experiment with it in the LiveEditor below:

Embedding Multimedia and More

There are 4 ways in LiaScript to embed multimedia content: the classical way ![alt](image-url) sound ?[alt](sound-url) video !?[alt](video-url] for everything else ??[alt](url) You can use this this example as a basis for your own course by following this link … Or experiment with it in the LiveEditor below:

ASCII-aRT

After writing systems, here is a quick intro into ASCII-aRT - the next evolutionary step of writing - and how it is integrated into LiaScript, such that you can integrate for example also formulas and animations to your image… You can use this this example as a basis for your own course by following this link … Or experiment with it in the LiveEditor below:

Fonts: Dead or Alive

Fascinated by the length of the URL as well as by foreign languages and writing systems we added the opportunity to use different fonts in LiaScript-Markdown. We hoped that this can be useful for learning ancient and extinct languages… Not all fonts are installed on my machine, so they are not displayed in the editor. LiaScript however will load and display them appropriately. Since they are Unicode-characters, you can style and use these ancient writing systems as ordinary Markdown.

Images are handled differently

LiaScript-Markdown handles images differently: a paragraph with a starting image will produce a floating environment a paragraph with only images will produce a gallery the image will be optimally sized & placed “titles” will be used as captions You can use this this example as a basis for your own course by following this link … Or experiment with it in the LiveEditor below:

One Document - Multiple Representations

This is part one of a demo series that explains certain LiaScript design elements. I this part you will learn how to create narrative presentations from one Markdown document only and how one course can be used to teach in different languages. For the text to speech output we apply simple-speech … If your browser does not support TTS, LiaScript will fallback ResponsiveVoice. You can use this this example as a basis for your own course by following this link

Praxisworkshop Erstellung eines E-Learning Kurses mit LiaScript

Häufig sind wir so in unsere Arbeitsweisen vertieft, dass wir die Vorteile anderer Perspektiven und Herangehensweisen übersehen. Genau deshalb empfehlen wir euch den Praxisworkshop von Lennart Rosseburg und Twillo, sie präsentieren in zwei informativen und komprimierten Videos, wie man effizient Online-Kurse erstellt – hierfür brauchen wir sonst wesentlich mehr Zeit. Sehr viel besser wird auch das Zusammenspiel von LiaScript, VSCode und Git/GitHub erläutert. Und über unser didaktisches Konzept sprechen wir lieber nicht 😉

We Are Developers 22 - Interactive Markdown for Education & Documentation

Well… there is a so called OER movement - OER stands for OpenEducationalResources. In contrast to the OpenSource initiative, there is no such thing as a common or uniting (programming) language, where people can contribute pieces to a larger project. It might sound strange, but we think that Markdown can be an ideal language candidate for e-learning. But it is mainly used to create static content, the syntax is fixed and not extendable.

Fischbestimmer - FISHIDENTIFIER

This is an experiment of porting the FISHIDENTIFIER from the Deutsches Meeresmuseeum Stralsund to LiaScript. The original version can be found at: https://www.ostsee-fischbestimmer.de/en/bestimmer This port was done on the basis of the German version, but it was possible to translate the entire functionality into LiaScript. Visit the Fischbestimmer Usage About 80 species of fish regularly occur in the Baltic Sea. Roughly the same amount of species occasionally enters as vagrants from the the North Sea or via discharging rivers.

Import A-Frame 3D models, scenes, and more into LiaScript open-courSes

This blog entry presents an example of how to import A-Frame 3D models, scenes, and more into LiaScript open-courSes. The entire README file can be interpreted as a library, we say template, that only needs to be imported into your LiaScript course via:  # Your Course And then you can start to use all the features and examples that are provided in the original README file.

Install Atom with LiaScript (Deprecated)

This blog entry presents a little workaround and shows how you can still use our two plugins to develop your LiaScript courses offline with the Atom editor. Unfortunately, it is not possible for us at the moment to update the LiaScript packages for Atom, we hope this problem will be solved soon. On the other hand, it is now also possible to use Visual Studio Code. Download and install git from: https://git-scm.

Install Visual Studio Code with LiaScript

Due to some problems with package updates for Atom editor, we decided to created two LiaScript extensions for VSCode. However, Atom can still be used to create LiaScript courses and from our point of view it is still the easier editor to learn (for more information follow this link). But, it is now also possible to develop courses and preview them with Visual-Studio-Code. The two extensions are similar to those we had developed for Atom, but with slight differences.

LiaScript Tutorial an der TU Bergakademie Freiberg (German)

In diesem Tutorial werden die neusten Features und das “neue” Design von LiaScript vorgestellt. Die Vorschau auf die Klassenraumfunktionen sind in der aktuellen Version bereits enthalten und können von jedem frei und ohne Login und ohne Logging genutzt werden… Die größte Neuerung betrifft das neue Klassenraum-Feature. Dabei setzen wir auch bei unserer Interpretation von Klassenräumen auf leichtgewichtige Web 3.0 Technologien die ganz ohne zentrale Server. Ein globaler Zustand wird nur zwischen den jeweiligen Endgeräten, also den Nutzern, generiert.

How to activate Tooltips in LiaScript

LiaScript has a new tooltip feature, which was inspired by the Wikipedia tooltips, which provide more information about a certain topic if you hover a link with the mouse. In LiaScript this feature needs to be activated manually, since it requires a little additional bandwidth, but the result is pretty much the same as in Wikipedia. To activate tooltips: open the settings-tab check the tooltips check-box This additional bandwidth is required, since the tooltips are generated on-demand and also without any backend involved.

Embedding Multimedia - How does it work??

LiaScript has a new type of link. If you prefix a link in Markdown with an exclamation mark, then this link is marked as an image, and it gets embedded into the document. LiaScript had already two extensions for this, the question-mark is used to indicate audio (just think of an ear) and images with sound which are used as markers for video content. ![image](url) ?[audio](url) !?[video](url) One benefit of using this notation is, that this does not interfere with Markdown, the link is still valid and “clickable” in any other Markdown-viewer.

LiaScript: Crash-courSe in 13 Akten (German)

Dieses Tutorial führt in 13 „kurzen“ Schritt-für-Schritt Videos in die Kursentwicklung mit LiaScript ein, von der Installation des Editors hin zu den wichtigsten Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten. Wie erstellt man interaktive Inhalte, nutzt Animationen und bringt dem Kurs das Sprechen bei… Eine Zusammenfassung der wichtigsten Punkte je Video wird gegeben. #1 Installation Installation des Editors und der benötigten Plugins Die Quellen sind unten noch einmal aufgelistet, es wird einerseits der Atom-Editor benötigt, sowie die beiden Plugins.

Freie Lehr-Lern-Materialien ohne Wenn und Aber II (German)

Nach einer kurzen Einführung in die Konzepte werde die neusten Features von LiaScript vorgestellt, dazu zählen automatische Sprachausgaben in verschiedenen Sprachen und automatisch erstellte Visualisierungen von Markdown-Tabellen. Weiterhin wird gezeigt, was der unterschied zwischen einer PWA und einer Webseite ist … Quelle: https://github.com/liaScript/Workshop

Freie Lehr-Lern-Materialien ohne Wenn und Aber I (German)

LiaScript erweitert Markdown um Elemente wie interaktive Animationen, Quizze, Text-To-Speech Elemente, out-of-the-box Programmierumgebungen usw., die für den Einsatz in der Lehre zwingend erforderlich sind. Gleichzeitig bleibt aber die einfache Syntax, die ohne spezifische Editoren bearbeitet werden kann, erhalten und kann gut für die gemeinsame Entwicklung von Lehrinhalten eingesetzt werden. Die Interpretation erfolgt unmittelbar im Browser, über SCORM 1.2 Schnittstellen können die Kurse aber auch direkt in die bekannten Learning Management Systeme (LMS) integriert werden.

Sister Fox and the Gray Wolf

These are two early translations of Russian folk take “sister fox and the gray wolf”. It is a recording of a LiaScript document, see the original versions at: https://github.com/LiaBooks/SisterFoxAndTheGrayWolf If you try out one of the examples below, make sure that you enable the audio output of your browser, since the text-to-speech is turned of by default.

Open-Course Development with LiaScript (... Or Markdown on Steroids)

Markdown is an ideal tool for documenting and thus a suitable format for Open Educational Resources, but as a static markup language it is also boring. So the idea was born to create a DSL that is based on Markdown but intended to be used for developing online courses, that look like screen-cast with various interactive elements. Starting this project with Elm, it was more or less an explorative journey, with rapid changes in the DSL and the interpreter that were guided by the Elm-compiler.

LiaScript - BearLearn Talk 2019

This is an early example of a LiaScript presentation, that was given as a BearLearn Talk 2019 in Berlin. It shows how to create a simple narrative presentations with Text-to-Speech output and animations and more. The arguments for creating a markup language for open online-courses are still the same. And if you inspect the course, you will see, that the format of the course has not changed at all, only the URL, the syntax is still the same, we only added more features to the interpreter and improved the presentation.
