+# org-teach: a minor mode for writing course materials in Emacs
+James Endres Howell (he/him) - <mailto:james@endres-howell.org>
+
+[[!inline pages="internal(2024/info/org-teach-before)" raw="yes"]]
+
+I will demonstrate how I used Emacs to produce all the materials for teaching an undergraduate
+molecular and cell biology course at a very large university. My org-teach package
+(<https://git.sr.ht/~jamesendreshowell/org-teach/>) is a collection of Org macros that customize export
+to LaTeX and Beamer in order to produce (1) textbook-style handouts, (2) slides for classroom
+presentation, and (3) quiz and exam questions, all from a single Org source document. It also
+provides a simple minor mode that facilitates authoring such source documents. We will discuss the
+benefits of producing course materials as plain-text outlines, and of exploiting the power of Emacs
+and Org mode for writing and managing book-length teaching materials.
+
+Last year at EmacsConf 2023, I presented some aspects of an earlier version of org-teach
+(<https://git.sr.ht/~jamesendreshowell/org-teach-EmacsConf2023>). This talk will provide more
+background, more details, and some exciting new features.
+
+About the speaker:
+
+James Endres Howell has taught Molecular and Cell
+Biology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Immunology,
+Toxicology, and Molecular Medicine at Penn State
+since 2006. Recently Dr. Howell has developed
+popular courses for non-science majors in
+Genetics, Ecology and Evolution; Science in
+Literature; and Science in Media. He has used
+Emacs daily since 1988.
