I am a lecturer in the Bachelor of Information Technology (BIT) programme at Otago Polytechnic in Dunedin, New Zealand. This programme, and my own work within it, focuses on teaching students to be well prepared to enter the IT profession. As such, it contains less theory and a bit more practical applications than a typical computer science programme does. In the BIT we strive to use current tools and to demonstrate current industry best practices. In this setting it's natural to use Git and GitHub to manage and share teaching materials.
These materials are also offered here to facilitate open collaboration with others, although for at least the time being I'm making no effort to generalise them for use outside my own programme. I may do so in the future if demand warrants it.
