Now What?

Welcome to our first online presentation! In this first presentation, we're just going to survey our new set of tools and make sure that we can use the old ones remotely. You can hit the play button directly below to get started.

What's this?

First, these presentations are basically slide shows with audio. They're implemented as web pages built using a javascript library called Reveal.js that implements the effects.

That way we can include everything we might include in a webpage like the link above and ...

(Go ahead and hit the play button again. In fact, hit that play button whenever you see the audio controls at the bottom of the slide.)

Images and typeset math

A groovy image $$ f(x,y) = \frac{\sin\left(5\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\right)} {5\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}. $$

And other fun toys

(Hover or touch for grooviness)

Procedures moving forward

Let's take a look at how we'll move forward from here.

Note that all we'll talk about here is outlined on our revised syllabus as well.

New dissemination mode

In addition to these online presentations, we'll also

  • Use the forum more,
  • Have an online office hour via Google Meet during the first part of our class (not required), and
  • You can get additional help via the Math Lab's new Moodle forum.

(The player reappeared, since I've got something to say.)

New assessment mode

Grades for the remaining of the semester will be based

  • More heavily on the MyOpenMath for HW,
  • We will additionally use MyOpenMath for quizzes,
  • We will use forum messages for some problems that require explanation, and
  • I just don't know what's going to happen yet for exams.

That's all folks!

That's about all for now. If you'd like to read ahead, though, we'll probably jump into Chapter 13 on double integrals this Wednesday.
