Authoring Online Interactive Materials in Mathematics

What's New: (10/10/03)

• Public Access to Projects

Earlier Links

The first three pages contain new versions of Shockwave mathlets created by Frank. The multiParameterAnimation is a new beta version (8-11-03) mathlet that allows changing several parameters in a graph and plotting several functions at the same time. The others are revised versions have some of the features that participants requested. These do NOT replace the older versions because some of the parameters are different. However, particpants should switch to the new versions.

• Using linearTransformation

• How to Use linearProgramming

• Link to Post Workshop Evaluation

• Link to Posted Projects and Comments Pages

• Link to Conference Sessions and Meeting Rooms. For the sessions, you will need to login with your ID and password.

• The Flash videos of the Monday and Tuesday presentations are now posted. Go to the Conference site www4.math.duke.edu. The videos are scrollable.

• Friday Presentation Signup Page

• There is a link to David Eck's configurable applets on the Resources page.

• There is information on mathlet software on the Resources page.

• Phone contact numbers: (919) 660-2822 (Lang) and (919) 660-2823 (David)

• Pictures of the presenters can now be accessed from the Images page

• Update your Java Virtual Machine: Frank suggests that everyone update their Java Virtual Machine. You can do this at www.java.com/en/index.jsp.

• You need to have the latest Macromedia Flash Player installed on your computer to use the workshop software. If you do not have a Flash Player, download one from the Macromedia site. If you do have one, check your version. The site will tell you your current flash version number. It needs to be the latest : This is currently 6,0,79,0 (but anything after 6,0,65,0 is okay).

• Please fill out the short online form giving us information about the hardware and software you will be using as well as your previous experience. A separate form should be submitted for each member of your team.

• Barbara Edwards at Oregon State is handling the evaluation for the workshop. She has a short four-question pre-workshop form that she would like for you to fill out. The information submitted on this form will be submitted directctly to her.

• Some of the materials presented in the workshop will use Macromedia Shockwave. If you do not have a Shockwave player installed on your machine, download the free player.

• Background information about the workshop

• Workshop Participants (July 13, 2003)

• Current Draft of Workshop Schedule (July 18, 2003)

• A Collection of Web Sites with Mathematical Content. This list was put together by Lang Moore and Doug Ensley. Use it to see what sorts of interactive mathematical materials are available online, and to generate ideas for your project.

• Resources for use during the workshop Online tutorials to use before and during the workshop

• Information on Workshop Directors
