@erichahn totally understand the confusion and appreciate the feedback.
However, as the HoloToolkit grows, it will be very hard to keep learning classes always in sync with the open source projects. Hence that will be a non-goal for these tutorials.
These are for learning concepts and it is very hard to guarantee that some changes in the public facing project will not break these.
If you face any issues please do feel free to reach out to us on forums.hololens.com. We all would be more than happy to get you unblocked.
Hope this helps clear things up a little.

Maybe we can eliminate some of the confusion by not calling the folder "HoloToolkit" in the tutorials.
Some options:
- Toolkit
- SimpleToolkit
- Tools

I'll jump on this, unless somebody else has already made progress.

Thanks Kurtis! I'll do Spatial Mapping, since I'm making other changes in that course :)

I'm glad that you're keeping the tutorials up to date. It'd be nice to have the tutorial explicitly reference this git repo and inform users to make sure they're up to date while trying to create their own apps from the tutorial concepts.
I ran into an issue today where the old tutorial referenced GazeEntered() and the new toolkit uses OnGazeEnter(). Needless to say I felt incredibly dumb after a couple hours wasted.

Yeah, Neeraj and I had discussed renaming this in the past. I like 'Toolkit' or 'CustomHoloToolkit' or 'HoloToolkit_Custom'. The problem is that we now have a lot of recorded videos that tell you to go to the 'HoloToolkit' folder. If we keep the name close enough, then it shouldn't cause too much confusion.
I've tried to keep the SpatialMapping course up-to-date with the HoloToolkit, as it does actually teach people how to use components from the kit.
It would be good to update the Sharing course with a newer version of the HoloToolkit too, as I know there have been a lot of fixes that have gone into the toolkit since we last synced that project. The issue with this one is that the HoloToolkit used in the course has a completely different folder structure, so it doesn't map well.

Agreed with Angela on keeping the name similar to HoloToolkit so the instructions and intent is not lost.
Perhaps we can call it:
- HoloToolkit_Custom
- HoloToolkit_Academy
from holographicacademy.
How about HoloToolkit_Academy_### where ### is the course number?
See this thread for real-world user confusion :)

Sounds great.

We decided to 'customize' the HoloToolkit for each course. This is being addressed in issue #16.
