Short summary
Together with our students, we co-created two open geoscientific course modules using the Jupyter Book framework. Students were happy with the framework's accessibility, inclusivity, interactivity, and multimedia content and eagerly contributed to the educational materials through the GitHub backend when given the opportunity. Our efforts are an important step in the development of geoscientific open educational content co-created by technical experts, social scientists, and students alike.
