DIP with Khoros 2: Course Directory Structure

Machu Picchu, Perú

Toolbox Course and Top Directory: "dipcourse"

Create a Khoros dipcourse "Toolbox" for the course. This Toolbox directory is considered the top directory for all course materials. The dipcourse "Toolbox" should be located at the same level of the Khoros system Toolboxes. The dipcourse directory will contain several files and subdirectories, some of which are:

• Welcome.html: Main user interface page for the course (driver page).
• html: Subdirectory consisting of all subpages with information about the course, the course itself, and subdirectories per topic addressed by the DIP course.

NOTE: you may want to use a name other than dipcourse for your Toolbox.

Subdirectory "html"

In this subdirectory you will locate files with the necessary information about the course, i.e. where to get it, how to install it, FAQs, and the driver pages for the course itself. Also, you will find subdirectories for each topic covered in the course.

Topic Subdirectories

Each subdirectory may contain one html driver file and a set of lesson subdirectories. The name of these lesson subdirectories try to reflect the main concept in each lesson, e.g. convolution.

Lesson Subdirectories

This is the subdirectory containing all material pertinent to a lesson. It has the following files:

• front-page.html: Description of the concept and/or experiment
• building-wk.html: How to build a visual program to demonstrate a concept via an experiment, and a list of suggested exercises.
• *.gif: GIF files used by the lesson html files.
• *.wk: A proposed visual program to be used as a solution or as reference.
• *.tex: sometimes a latex file to generate equations, etc.

• Template directory and lesson pages.
