In structuring my own course, I attemped to balance the following:\n- **Navigation**: Students should be able to easily _find_ their work and related content\n- **Limit Distractions**: Students (and instructors) shouldn't have to sift through hundreds of notebooks or collections to find desired content\n- **Creation**: Creating a new assignment should involve as few steps as possible\n- **Collaboration**: Students should be able to collaborate with one another (a feature of notebooks stored in teams)\n\nBelow is a visual representation of how I decided to organize my content across different collections (_click a Collection -- e.g. Assignment Starters -- to see child Notebooks_)\n`","pinned":false,"hidden":false,"mode":"ojs"},{"id":67,"value":"chart","pinned":false,"hidden":false,"mode":"ojs"},{"id":80,"value":"md`This content is displayed on the course [Collections](https://observablehq.com/@info474?tab=collections) page as follows:`","pinned":false,"hidden":false,"mode":"ojs"},{"id":81,"value":"displayImage(course_collections, 600)","pinned":false,"hidden":false,"mode":"ojs"},{"id":71,"value":"md`A bit more detail on the collections in the diagram and screenshot above:\n\n- **Assignment Starters**: These are the starter notebooks for students to fork for each weekly assignment.

**Students fork assignments to their own accounts**: _Unable to leverage Teams benefits, like commenting and live collaboration_
**Make a collection for each student**: _Too many collections displayed on the homepage, confusing for paired work _
**All student assignments in one collection**: _Too many notebooks in a single collection, which can't be easily searched/filtered_
