MANO Resources

Teaching material shared by teachers and made publicly available to MANO students.

This repository contains folders for each teacher. Inside their folder, they upload their PDFs and other teaching materials. All materials automatically appear on the MANO Resources website.

Overview

• Each teacher has one personal folder.
• The folder name must end with a unique identifier
  • ORCID (preferred)
  • or VIAF
  • or GND
• Inside the folder, upload your PDFs (or other files).
• Submit your changes → Your materials go live on the website.

How to Upload Your Teaching Materials

1. Log in to GitHub

• You need a free GitHub account.
• If you already have one, sign in.

2. Go to this repository

➡ https://github.com/mano-project/mano-resources

3. Create your folder

1. Click Add file → Create new file
2. In the file name field, type your folder name like this: Surname Name Affiliation ORCID/README.md

Examples:

• Parma Michela University of Mainz 0000-0003-1959-2897/README.md
• Parma Michela University of Mainz VIAF:123456789/README.md
• Parma Michela University of Mainz GND:118540238/README.md

ORCID is preferred. If you don’t have one, use VIAF or GND.

📌 Important: Always include the identifier at the end followed by /README.md (no whitespaces between the ORCID number and /README.md).

3. In the large text box, just type Placeholder or, if you like, a short presentation of you and your teaching area.

4. Click Commit changes

This will create your personal folder in the repo with an initial READ ME file.

What happens next?

The system automatically:

• Detects your ORCID (or VIAF/GND)
• Retrieves your correct name from the identifier
• Lists all your PDFs in a searchable table on the Resources section of the MANO website

FAQ

1. I don’t have an ORCID. Can I still upload?
Yes. Use your VIAF or GND ID. If you have none, just use: Surname Name Affiliation/README.md Your folder name will appear directly on the website.

2. What if I paste the full ORCID URL?
No problem. The system extracts the correct identifier automatically.

3. Can I organize my materials into subfolders?
Yes! The website will still list all PDFs, even inside subfolders.

Best Practices

• Always include an identifier at the end of your folder name followed by /README.md.
• Use clear, descriptive filenames for your PDFs (e.g., Introduction-to-TEI.pdf).
• If you update materials later, just upload new files to your same folder.
