Teaching and courses
Syllabi, course books, class study guides, open textbooks and curricula that a class can read from a link.
Teachers write the same material many times: the syllabus, the course shell, the study guide, next year’s copy of all three. These recipes keep one source. The overview carries the front matter, a finding carries each week or lesson, revisions keep last term’s version, and a public read-only link gives students and parents the current one.
know.sh is for the adults doing the teaching. Keep student names, grades and records out of it unless your school has approved the tool for them.
