Birkbeck School of Creative Arts, Culture and Communication

Welcome!

This GitHub organization (Birkbeck2) is used to house teaching and learning repositories for several modules in Birkbeck's Digital Media Design programme.

Getting started

Are you new to GitHub? You may find what you need in the GitHub Documentation.

Module repositories

• Web Development is the main content repository where we keep lecture materials, workshop instructions, and code sandboxes and examples.
• Canary is a private repository for collaboration, peer review, and discussion for students enrolled in 2024-25.

Your repositories

To search a list of the Birkbeck2 repositories that you have access to, go to Repositories. Note you may also have repositories on your personal account--that's a separate list.

For lecturers

Naming conventions for student repositories

When creating an assignment in GitHub Classrooms, put the bird name for that academic year as a prefix so that it is easier to search and filter them.

For example, for 2024-25, the bird is canary. For an HTML contact form homework, you might name the assignment canary-homework-6-contact-form. This will result in student repositories with that as a prefix, such as canary-homework-6-contact-form-joemull.
