Abstract

An online presentation arguing the case for Markdown as a primary text-based source for generating learning materials. The Presentation itself is written as a single Markdown file. The purpose is to use a single non-proprietary text-based cross-platform format from which multiple outputs can be generated, including PDF, Word, HTML, e-books, etc. This presentation was one of the outputs from a Teaching Innovation Project.
