Dear all,
I am eager to know what will you discuss if you had a chance to have workshop on Tiddlywiki in Research and Education for graduate students from the engineering discipline?
I thought, something like below may interesting.
- What is Tiddlywiki?
- A personal wiki
- Personal organization
- Personal effectiveness
- A quick introduction
- Concepts
- Definitions
- Wikitexts
- Macros
- Variables
- System tags
- Widgets
- Filters
- Tiddlywiki for research
- A research card system
- Setup a local / online knowledgebase
- project progress report
- Task management
- Tiddlywiki for education
- Course notes
- Create presentation
- Math with the KaTeX plugin
- Bookmarks
- Tiddlywiki and web
- Personal website
- Personal blog
- CSS customization
I would like to have your idea and comments on this, specially I am eager to hear from those who had similar experiences.
Best regards
Mohammad

Mohammad,
As raised previously I am prepairing a community college course. We must collaborate and share material, with some different content for different audiences. We need to find the best way to do this.
I will discuss more after I recover a bit.

Slowly catching up over the holidays and thought I give you some simple examples of using TiddlyWiki.
Back in the dark ages of time, when I was a corporate trainer, we used a commercial course authoring program then moved on to an inhouse developed program to build a menu around HTML pages. It looked about like TiddlyWiki Classic but the menu was on the left. We moved from live instruction to a mix with some self-paced monitored self-study courses. That moved on to little live instruction with more web or CD delivery. It also had a system for testing and reporting results to central server.
Since I first saw TWC I thought it could have done the same job except for the testing and record keeping. I was hoping that integration with the Tincan API might provide that missing piece but that seems to have lapsed. Perhaps Federation (TWederation) will be able to add that, though it might require some Javascript plugins to make the testing more secure.
Anyway, trying to get my downloads under control I created two TWs. They might be examples for a course that primarily media based. Options for online or offline use are included.
The first is an audio lecture series on church history. Because it was presented over an extended period of time I used a journal style of entry.

The second is a video lecture series, in this case on the Jewish view of Jesus. This was structured a little more like a traditional course and I made the TW that way. This might be the way a course with media might be presented.
http://objections2jesus.tiddlyspot.com
Entries in both have included a notes entry that is transcluded into the main entry. That way the student wouldn't have to modify the main entry and could actually make notes while the media is playing.
Those are simple examples that don't require heavy TW knowledge. The few fancy things are done by macros and snippets (stamps) to make using them easier if a student would add more.
For something more complex, as in presenting a procedure, I've included two TWs that I helped a friend create sometime ago. They are step-by-step guides to installing and running some software. No specific way was provided for notetaking.

Hope that helps by giving you a few more ideas.

Hello Greg,
Many thanks for sharing your works and giving me your comments.
Those examples are applications of TW in the real world and worth to be discussed as case study!
I like your approach in the first two wikis.
Best wishes
Mohammad

Hi Mohammad,
You are surely welcome. I have to agree with you. I tend to keep things relatively simple. The last two are putting way, way, way too much on the screen at one time. The software is being rewritten so I doubt they will ever be cleaned up.
You could of course find other ideas at DesignWriteStudio: https://designwritestudio.updog.co/#Spring%202018%20Studio%20Presentations
Best Wishes,
Greg
