Inside a course

Inside a course

How a DTeach course is built, and what students can do in it.

A course is a tree of sections in the sidebar, each holding a document. Documents sync live: what you type appears for everyone reading, with no save button.

Every course opens from an activity in your Moodle.

What is in a document

Text, headings, lists, tables, images, video and audio, LaTeX formulas rendered as you type, and whiteboards. Type / in the editor to insert any of them.

What students can do

  • Read — always, for every section you have not hidden.
  • Take notes — private, attached to your paragraphs.
  • Ask questions — anchored to the passage they are stuck on, answered in a thread.
  • Edit — where you decide to open it, section by section.
  • Draw together on a shared whiteboard.
