CDE Teaching — Landing Page

Landing page for the CDEteaching GitHub organisation. This platform is hosted by the Centre for Development and Environment (CDE), a leading research centre for sustainable development. CDE combines research, education, and practice to co-create knowledge for just and sustainable transformations worldwide.

This platform provides an overview of all open education resources (OER) developed at CDE with a focus on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and Sustainability Transformations.

Adding or updating a course card

Each course appears as a card in the "Course Materials" section of index.html. To add a new course, copy one of the existing <div class="card"> blocks and update the four fields:

<divclass="card"><divclass="card-accent"></div><!-- green accent bar; use class="card-accent teal" for methods/tools --><divclass="card-body"><spanclass="card-tag">Course Material</span><!-- or "Methods & Tools" --><h3>Your Course Title</h3><p>A short description of the course — 2–3 sentences is enough.</p></div><divclass="card-footer"><ahref="https://cdeteaching.github.io/YOUR-REPO/" class="card-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Open course</a><spanclass="card-gh"><ahref="https://github.com/CDEteaching/YOUR-REPO" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GitHub</a></span></div></div>

Only list repos that have an active GitHub Pages site. Repos without a published page should not appear as cards — they have no destination to link to.


Repo hygiene checklist

Before adding a repo to the landing page, make sure it has:

  • A clear description set on GitHub (Settings → About → Description)
  • Relevant topic tags set (e.g. oer, sustainability, course-material, esd)
  • A clean README.md in the repo itself — this is what visitors see when they click through to GitHub
  • GitHub Pages enabled and working (Settings → Pages)

Local preview

No build tools required. Open index.html directly in any browser:

open index.html # macOS
start index.html # Windows
xdg-open index.html # Linux

Deployment

This repo is served automatically by GitHub Pages. Any push to the main branch updates the live site within ~1 minute.

git add index.html
git commit -m "add course card: Your Course Title"
git push

No CI/CD, no build step, no dependencies.


Design

The page uses CDE's official brand colours and Inter as the typeface (loaded from Google Fonts). The layout is fully responsive and works without JavaScript — no frameworks, no bundlers.
