Courseflow
==========
Courseflow lets students participate in online activities. Each such activity
is called a "flow". It flows over a couple of pages, each of which can be, say,
a video, a quiz question, a page of text, or, within the confines of HTML,
something completely different.
Courseflow is set apart by the following features:
* Emphasizes ease of authoring, using `YAML <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAML>`_,
`Markdown <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown>`_ and Python.
See `example content <https://github.com/inducer/courseflow-sample>`_.
* Versioning of content through deep integration with `git <https://git-scm.org>`_.
Instructors can preview newly-authored content while students work with
prior versions, all from the same instance of Courseflow.
