Documentation

For extensive documentation on swirlify and tips for writing swirl courses see the swirlify website.

Course structure

swirl courses have the following structrue:

• Courses are directories that contain all of the files, folders, and lessons associated with the course you are developing. The name of the course directory is the name of the course. For example the name of the directory that contains Team swril’s R Programming course is named R_Programming.
• Lessons are directories that contain single units of instruction. The name of a lesson directory is the name of that lesson. Every lesson must at least contain a lesson.yaml file containing lesson content.
• Questions are written inside of the lesson.yaml file in each lesson directory. Students are prompted with questions in sequential order.
