Welcome to the virtual-classroom wiki!

virtual-classrom is a tool for using GitHub classrooms in group sessions in university courses. Each student can have a private repository for exercises and projects. With a virtual-classroom script you can open up a private repository for a (small) group of students who can then assess files in the repository, write feedback, and push back to the repository. Afterwards, the repository can be made private again. This setup allows for student groups to assess other students' works and enables feedback on a large set of projects without scaling up the number of teaching assistants and lecturers.

Read about how to use virtual-classroom from start to end in the Workflow document.

The start_group.py script help set up groups of students and emails every student the necessary information to clone or fork repos. The Parameters document describes the parameters that can be set in this script.
