<p>“To teach is to learn twice” - Joseph Joubert</p>

<p>Creating a course to teach a programming language, framework or other piece of technology is a rewarding endeavor. Simplifying something to the point it can be understood by newcomers requires our own understanding to be both broad and deep. Simply put, teaching a thing is an excellent way to really understand a thing.</p>

<p>Over the years we’ve created many courses. Creating a series of exercises as problems for students to solve, each building upon the last, leading to a working implementation of some use-case.</p>

<p>Creating courses requires a huge investment of time and energy. Maintaining courses - to keep up-to-date with the latest version, ensuring it covers all the features - requires even more effort.</p>

<p>This talk introduces you to the Course Management Tools (CMT) - tooling we’ve created to make the lives of both the course creator and the student much easier.</p>

<p>You’re probably wondering:</p>
<ul>
  <li>How can I quickly get started building courses?</li>
  <li>Why can’t I just use Git?</li>
  <li>How can I allow students to save their work during a course?</li>
  <li>How can I get feedback from students to improve my course?</li>
  <li>Framework X has just introduced a new feature, how can I insert a new exercise without screwing everything up?</li>
  <li>How can I distribute my course to students?</li>
  <li>How can students get the latest version of my course?</li>
</ul>

<p>We‚’ll answer all these questions, and more!</p>
