Video Conferences on WeBWorK topics
Instructions for joining video conference
Upcoming Video Conference Topics
Planned schedule: alternate Wednesdays: 5PM EST, 4PM CST, 3PM MST, 2PM PST unless otherwise noted
- Wednesday 12/3/2008 at 5pm EST, Darwyn Cook
- Discussion of proposed GraphObjects interface (see Graph_Object_Wishlist)
Past Video Conference Topics
- Wednesday 11/19/2008 at 5pm EST, Jason Aubrey and Mike Gage
- Geogebra applet examples -- Jason
- Discussion of AppletObject API specification -- led by Mike
- Friday, 11/14/2008, Mike Gage
- Collection of physics problems: http://hosted.webwork.rochester.edu/webwork2/physics_library/
- Use guest login to see problems
- Model calculus course -- under construction: https://devel.webwork.rochester.edu/moodle/course/view.php?id=2
- This is the first semester calculus course taught at the U. of Rochester (from Stewart's calculus book).
- You will need to fill out the information for a "New Account" -- it's a quick process.
- The code for the WeBWorK questions is being converted to conform to current best practices using MathObjects. Set 1 has been converted -- you can look at question by question comparisons between the old and the new code.
- Open discussion on topics and schedule for video conferences
- Collection of physics problems: http://hosted.webwork.rochester.edu/webwork2/physics_library/
- Friday, 10/24/2008, Davide Cervone
- Overview of PGML (PG markup language) -- simplified entry for PG questions
- Experimental PGML markup lab at: PGLabs
