Defining a Learning Pathway
Saskia HiltemannLearning Pathways are sets of tutorials curated by community experts to form a coherent set of lessons around a topic, building up knowledge step by step.
To define a learning pathway, create a file in the learning-pathways/ folder. An example file is also given in this folder (pathway-example.md). It should look something like this:
---
layout: learning-pathway
title: Title of your pathway
description: |
Description of the pathway. What will be covered, what are the learning objectives, etc?
Make this as thorough as possible, 1-2 paragraphs. This appears on the index page that
lists all the learning paths, and at the top of the pathway page
tags: [some, keywords, here ]
cover-image: path/to/image.png # optional cover image, defaults to GTN logo
cover-image-alt: alt text for this image
pathway:
- section: "Module 1: Title"
description: |
description of the module. What will be covered, what should learners expect, etc.
tutorials:
- name: galaxy-intro-short
topic: introduction
- name: galaxy-intro-101
topic: introduction
- section: "Module 2: Title"
description: |
description of the tutorial
will be shown under the section title
tutorials:
- name: quality-control
topic: sequence-analysis
- name: mapping
topic: sequence-analysis
- name: general-introduction
topic: assembly
- name: chloroplast-assembly
topic: assembly
- name: "My non-GTN session"
external: true
link: "https://example.com"
type: hands_on # or 'slides'
# you can make as many sections as you want, with as many tutorials as you want

You can put some extra information here. Markdown syntax can be used. This is shown after the description on the pathway page, but not on the cards on the index page.
And that’s it!
