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).
