How are you currently using GitLab for teaching? Are students working in projects, issues, or epics to access their lessons? Are you integrating GitLab with any third party apps to deliver lessons to students?
Currently we assign 2 projects per period. They work in teams. I’m not integrating GitLab in anyway via a third party app. I’m looking to include de lessons into the projects. Maybe by making different repositories or branches.
I’m looking for ideas to accomplish this. Do you have any or are other schools using this in other way please respond.
At the moment, we don’t have a lot of places that are doing what you’re doing. We are currently starting work on a “guide” for people looking to use GitLab in their classroom that will collect best practices from around the Globe. Stay tuned for updates on that as we continue to build it. In the meantime, here are some links that we hope will be of use!
Instructor Git + Gitlab.com API Tool This is Barry Muldrey from University of Mississippi. He is using something he created called Glee and he uses it to administer parts of his course.
Thanks for being a part of our growing education community! Have fun kitesurfing! I’m more of a “read books on the beach” kind of person, but kitesurfing has always looked so interesting!
Will start using gitlab with branches for the different topics. I will keep you posted with the successes. Thanks for the links to different ‘thoughts’ on using gitlab. Technical books or whatever is lying in front of you? Speak to you soon!
