Many MEDS instructors opt to organize their course materials on custom course websites. Increasingly, those websites are built using Quarto and hosted using GitHub Pages. You may consider using this template as a way to quick-start your course website development. I encourage you to check out other existing course websites for inspiration as well.

To create a website using this template:
- Click on the green Use this template button (top right)
- Fill out the necessary fields on the Create a new repository page. I recommend naming your new repository following this convention:
EDS-XXX-short-title. You should also ensure that your repo is public. You may choose the owner as your own personal account or a GitHub organization that you own. - Click Create repository
If you're new to Quarto, or if this is you're first time building a Quarto website, I recommend that you first check out the following tutorials. These materials should provide some helpful context, as well as step-by-step instructions on building, deploying, and customizing a Quarto website:
The Quarto documentation is also an incredibly thorough and helpful resource!
