Meet the Course Hub

The Grav Helios Course Hub is a free, open-source plugin that transforms the Grav Premium Helios theme into a companion site for one or more courses – built on Grav CMS with Markdown file-based content and an integrated Admin panel.

Course Hub – Weekly module

It gives your course a modern, clean, and organized home on the web: a place to openly share course materials and resources that you keep and control. Content is stored as simple text files you can keep locally, and it runs on nearly any web hosting service.

The Grav Helios Course Hub is the successor to the original Grav Open Course Hub project, re-envisioned from the ground up with multi-course support as the default.
