Springer, I really like your Tiddlywikis act as course pages with all related materials. One difference between my own wikis with yours is I keep information in a loose format while you arrange them in a dense format! By this I mean I have little information per tiddler, most of them are visible, I use fields for special purposes so I use the rich environment of Tiddlywiki but in its simple possible form. Like you I am a big fan of dynamic tables.
I also use Tiddlywiki for Homework. Students submit their homework as a Tiddlywiki single file. It is a standard one I distribute to them. (with Relink + Shiraz+ favorites+ comment+ todo+ commander + Highlight.js + KaTeX) Using comment plugin I can review and comment their solution and return to them. I also use Tiddlywiki + Tiddlyshow for lecturing! I also distribute some course materials as plugin. I learned this from Xavier Cazin. For example they can download a plugin called: Root finding. This plugin contains all my course notes, pyhton codes, ... in a form of plugin regarding root fining for scalar algebraic equations. So, they can play with them add their own notes, ... but they always have my original course notes in their Course Tiddlywiki.
