Products

Our core mission is to support teachers and students assistants in the creation and use of interactive textbooks. We do that in four different ways!

Manual

A manual on how to (start to) work and collaborate on your interactive textbook and explanation of existing Jupyter Book and custom (interactive) features. This includes explanations and examples illustrating how we use the interactive TeachBook features in our own education. We welcome contributions from others as well!

Read the Manual

Template

Quickly start with your own interactive textbook that includes our “standard” selection of features. Instructions are included to publish it on GitHub Pages (no server setup required).

Software Package

We collect a suite of existing open-source (from Jupyter Book and others) and custom-developed software to improve the learning experience of our students and ease the book-development process for our teachers.
Our own tools include (sphinx extension if not otherwise mentioned):

Read the Manual to see how to use the software or view the source code on GitHub. Next to these tools, we contribute to tools of others related to these books too.
