Instructions and conventions

The course guide is a generic resource recommended by the anchor partners for all OERu courses. The course guide includes the following components as illustrated by the AST1000 course example:

Please follow these conventions:

  1. The navigation template for the Course Guide should be transcluded from a sub-page of the relevant OERu course.
  2. The subpage for the navigation template should be prefaced with an underscore (_) to distinguish this from ordinary content pages, for example: http://wikieducator.org/Course_name/Course_guide/_Nav
  3. Copy the wiki boilerplate text below to create a navigation template by saving it on the _Nav sub-page of the parent page, i.e.http://wikieducator.org/Course_name/Course_guide/.
  4. To transclude the navigation template from the subpage within the relevant sub-pages of the Course Guide, put a colon (:) in front of the page name of the navigation template contained withing two curly brackets, for example {{:Course_name/Course_guide/_Nav}} representing the page where the navigation template is stored for transclusion.
  • For example the wiki text: {{:AST1000/Course_guide/_Nav}} transcludes the navigation template on this sub-page to each of the target page(s) using the wiki text {{:AST1000/Course_guide/_Nav}} on the target page.

  • Step 2: Replace the green text highlighted below with the relevant wiki page urls for your course. Tip: open this window in a new tab to view what text needs to be changed.
