+## Vocabulary
+
+@see [Glossar](../80_Glossar/glossar.md)
+
+We reintroduce some terms from the glossar here, to make them more visible and help non german speakers to understand the structure.
+
+- **Course Collection**: A course collection is a collection of one or more courses.
+- **Course**: A course is a collection of lessons
+- **Lesson**: A lesson is a single unit of content.
+- **OER**: Open Educational Resources are resources that are free to use and distribute.
+- **Learning Portal**: The [Application](https://github.com/fsfw-dresden/learning-portal) that provides the user interface and the functionality to browse, search and play the courses.
+- **Schulstick**: The debian based Live system, with preinstalled, preconfigured and ready to use applications and OER materials.
+
+## Courses Origin
+
+OER materials for the learning portal can be hosted in individual repositories and contain
+one or more courses, which themself consist of one or more lessons.
+
+This **Learning Portal** repository contains some example courses within the [OER-materials](https://github.com/fsfw-dresden/learning-portal/tree/main/OER-materials) folder.
+
+Preinstalled courses packaged for the Schulstick are located in `/usr/share/learning-portal/courses/examples`
+
+It is by no means required to package your courses into debian packages. But if you do so, you should place them into `/usr/share/learning-portal/courses/[course_collection_name]`
+
+For a hypotetic collection of blender courses a lesson of one of the courses would be stored under:
+
+`/usr/share/learning-portal/courses/org_gitlab_artist_blender/sculpture-course/unit01`
+
+### Reserved collection names
+
+The following collection names are reserved and should not be used for your own courses:
+
+- `examples` - used for example courses from the learning portal repository
+- `draft` 
+- `private`
+- `unpublished`
+
+the `draft`, `private` and `unpublished` collections are used to store courses that are not yet published.
+
+### Course collection name
+
+Conventionally `course_colection_name` should be something like`org_gitlab_user_repo` to prevent naming clashes
+
+### User added courses
+
+Users can create their own courses by placing them in `$HOME/.local/share/learning-portal/courses/draft|private|unpublished` and they will automatically be added to the course list.
+
+Or they can download courses and corse collections (manually or by using the portal app) them to `$HOME/.local/share/learning-portal/courses/[course_collection_name]`
+
+## Course Format and Folder Structure
+
+
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart
+    A[course-collection-name] --> B[course.yml]
+    A --> C[preview.png]
+    A --> D[lesson-name]
+    D --> E[lesson.yml]
+    D --> F[preview.png]
+    D --> G[content.md]
+```
+
+Because we follow a convention over configuration approach, the course folder structure is as follows, but can be reconfigured in the `course.yml` file in order to support different content types or a completely different folder structure.
+
+### LiaScript
+
+LiaScript is a markdown-based authoring framework for creating interactive learning experiences. If nothing else is specified in the `course.yml` file, LiaScript will be used to render the course.
+
+```
+course-best-practice/ (free naming)
+├── course.yml (optional course metadata)
+├── preview.png (optional course preview image)
+├── lesson-01/ (lesson folder, can be named freely)
+│   ├── lesson.yml (optional lesson metadata)
+│   ├── preview.png (optional lesson preview image)
+│   └── content.md (lesson content name unless specified otherwise in lesson.yml)
+├── lesson-02/
+│   ├── lesson.yml 
+│   ├── preview.png 
+│   └── content.md 
+└── ...
+```
+
+A minimal example of course collection would look like this:
+
+```
+course-name/
+├── lesson-name/
+│   └── content.md
+```
+
+A more concrete example:
+
+``` 
+Blender-beginner/ 
+├── course.yml 
+├── preview.png 
+├── 01-navigation/ 
+│   ├── lesson.yml 
+│   ├── preview.png 
+│   └── content.md 
+├── 02-modeling/
+│   └── ...
+├── 03-materials/
+│   └── ...
+├── 04-lighting/
+│   └── ... 
+└── ...
+
+Blender-game-development/
+├── course.yml 
+├── preview.png 
+├── 01-scene-setup/
+│   ├── lesson.yml 
+│   ├── preview.png 
+│   └── content.md
+├── 02-animations/
+│   ├── lesson.yml 
+│   ├── preview.png 
+│   └── content.md
+└── ...
+Blender-Godot-Integration/
+├── course.yml 
+├── preview.png 
+├── 01-scene-setup/
+│   └── ...
+├── 02-import-blender-models/
+│   └── ...
+└── ...
+```
+
+Lesson folder names can be freely chosen, but the alphabetical order is used to determine the display order of the lessons.
+
+### MDBook
+
+MDBook is a markdown-based authoring framework for creating books.
+
+We also support MDBook, but it is not the default renderer.
+
+The mdbook renderer will be chosen if the `renderer` field in the `course.yml` file is set to `mdbook` or if a `SUMMARY.md` file is present in the course folder.
+
+A minimal example course folder for mdbook would look like this:
+
+```
+course-name/
+├── SUMMARY.md
+├── chapter-01/
+│   └── content.md
+```
