Emulating the Teacher's Approving Nod in Teaching Material
summary
Remote trainings require replacing the teacher as the single knowledge source by shipping a walkthrough that contains all lecture text, explicitly worded tasks, expected outputs for every action and a troubleshooting page that lists error messages and fixes. Assignments include tiered aids (starting points, hints, step‑by‑step guides, partial solutions) and alt text for hardware. Teams use mdbook to publish a static site; the beginner 3.5‑hour course becomes a 7,500‑word guided workbook that cuts live Q&A.
