It’s a cliche (for a good reason), but I it’s hard to believe the summer is almost over and the fall teaching term is about to begin.

Over the summer I continued working on all of my Grav open education and publishing projects. A highlight was the brand new Grav skeleton package Open Presentation Hub to help create, publish, and share Markdown-based slides with the Presentation Plugin by Ole Vik, which uses the Reveal.js Framework.

My largest project in the past several weeks though has been getting ready for my latest SFU CMPT-363 User Interface Design course, which naturally uses the Open Course Hub project. This term I’ve configured the site to be accessed both as a standalone site and within the Canvas LMS for those students who also have other courses within Canvas - let’s see how the students find it!

I’ve also recently released several small updates for the Bootstrap4 Open Matter theme (used by Open Course Hub and Open Presentation Hub) to improve handling MultiCourse setups, and as well some small updates to the Quark Open Publishing theme.

Hope you enjoy the last week of summer!
