Collaborative Teaching for More Effective Learning

Everyone wins when everyone is smarter, so why is it so difficult to share and
collaborate on teaching materials? See how having your courseware and other
teaching materials stored in Git and on GitHub allows students to stay in
touch, learn collaboratively, extract more knowledge, and potentially even
give back to the course materials.
