GitSyllabus

Git-Syllabus is a tool designed to provide a method for pedagogical materials to be more visibly open-sourced and to allow academics to take advantage of the version control and forking afforded by the GitHub platform. It allows for metadata and centralized repositories to co-exist synchronously with independently-run WordPress installations. This sort of federation allows for materials to be found, but does not force users to critically rely on a centralized service. This process will ideally facilitate a conversation about open-source pedagogy, and retrofit that style of access and discovery to materials that were developed and published without such elements.

Please report any issues to the GitHub repository.

1. Place the plugin files in a folder called git-syllabus in your installation’s plugins folder
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. Go to Settings > GitSyllabus and follow the setup instructions
