All syllabi require the following frontmatter to render proberly on the page.
title
: The title of your area of study, with the first character a related emoji.
author
: Your name
(or the name of your company), a short bio
that will display exactly as is after your name, and one link
that will open if a user clicks on your name in the syllabus page (can be any social media or website).
tags
: the tags that appropriately describe your area of study. Feel free to add new tags, but use existing tags if they are relevant.
Existing tags include: life
, tech
, cooking
, environment
, arts
The syllabi are designed to be a loose list of online resources, sample assignments, books, blog posts, films and documentaries, etc that a student could use to self-study a topic (think of it as if you were sending a resource list to your friend). They should be succinct enough to prevent learning overwhelm, but exhaustive enough to actually help the student gain a foundational understanding of the topic.
Each topic will probably warrant its own structure, so feel free to define your own. In general, the curriculum should be segmented into sections that should be completed from top to bottom. Each section can contain a variety of different resources, categorized with an emoji:
๐ Book
๐ฝ๏ธ Movie/Documentary
๐บ Online Video or Playlist
๐ Blog Post
๐ Online Resource
โ๏ธ Assignment
๐ Person to Follow
๐๏ธ Podcast
