<div dir="ltr">Hello from Europe (hence, the odd daytime of this email): <br>In our MOOC on accessibility, which is currently under heavy development, we making use of a modified version of markdown syntax that's interpreted by a custom-built LMS platform. <br>See <a href="https://help.github.com/articles/github-flavored-markdown/" target="_blank">https://help.github.com/articles/github-flavored-markdown/</a><br>also, moodle has it: <a href="https://docs.moodle.org/23/en/Markdown" target="_blank">https://docs.moodle.org/23/en/Markdown</a>, although using Moodle for MOOCs is not a good idea.<div><br><div>Although we're not exactly relying on people using this syntax, it helps speed up the html creation quite a bit whenever someone submits plain text or word doc - based content. Whoever of the content authors wants full control can also directly submit "marked up markdown" content - it's quite easy to learn. See for example, <a href="http://markdowntutorial.com/" target="_blank">http://markdowntutorial.com/</a> <br><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra">Sebastian<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jun 23, 2015 at 6:09 AM, Howard Kramer <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:hkramer@ahead.org" target="_blank">hkramer@ahead.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Thank you to everyone for your responses.

<span><div>Most faculty use the WYSIWYG editor to add pages and images. </div>

<div>A lot just upload Word, PDF, media, content packages (e.g., Camtasia, Captivate). </div>

<div>Some hard core physics, comp sc, maths and econ professors would use HTML, but mostly because they need to add scripts, embeds or equations.</div>

<div>I'm working on putting together a syllabus for a short MOOC on inclusive instruction. One question that came up is whether faculty are creating their own HTML pages and therefore, should this topic be covered. My sense is that almost all course content is being created through LMS, Word, PPT and PDF documents and video. But I thought I'd see if anyone had a different take on this. Are there still a significant amount of instructors writing their own web pages?</div>
