I create my teaching materials as #OER with #EmacsReveal [1]. For my course on IT Systems [2] in summer term 2025, I switched to #Kokoro [3] as #TextToSpeech model, and students generally liked the quality (see README of emacs-reveal for evaluation results). Teaching resources are video-like, interactive HTML presentations with audio, generated from #OrgMode text files using GitLab CI/CD pipelines.

This holiday season, I found the time to release #EmacsReveal 9.54.0, which includes the settings I used for IT Systems. I also updated the #TTS Howto [4] to use Kokoro.

Feel free to reuse my course materials and emacs-reveal! All the best for 2026!

For several years now, I have been actively maintaining emacs-reveal [1] to produce interactive HTML presentations with audio as open educational resources. These presentations are generated automatically from Org mode text files using GitLab CI pipelines.

Summer term 2024 was the first time I incorporated text-to-speech functionality into my emacs-reveal workflow, resulting in video-like, yet interactive presentations: see my course on IT Systems [2]. Since the end of the lecturing period I have been updating software and documentation a bit. Feel free to reuse my course material and emacs-reveal; maybe comment on issue #20 [3]?
