Obsidian Resources

Obsidian is free technology designed to create a networked knowledge base. It is not explicitly designed for collaboration, but in my Writing in Digital Environments course I came up with a method and set of instructions for students to create and manage a shared "Vault" in Obsidian.

While this page is really just a hub for resources I've developed for students on Obsidian, I've published an extensive write-up on how I used it in the classroom here.

Resources for Students:

  • Start Here: This was the page I designed to broadly introduce students to Obsidian and how we would use it in the course.
  • Markdown Information: This was a page I also included in our Vault linking to a variety of resources on Markdown, the markup language used by Obsidian.
  • Networking Notes: This page was included in our Vault to explain the practice of bi-directional linking in Obsidian.
