James and the Giant Mooculus
I expected that “teaching online” would mean me, standing before the precipice of the internet, shouting my monologue, and hearing not even an echo in reply. Mooculus up-ended those expectations: I’ve found that online education can be just as interactive, just as much a dialogue, as my usual, in-person teaching.
What really seals the deal for me is Coursera’s forum, …Read more at the full article: James and the Giant Mooculus

The New Standard Podium
Instructors teaching on the 3rd floor of Central Classrooms received a (hopefully!) pleasant surprise when they arrived for classes at the beginning of spring term. Where most rooms had previously required them to bring a laptop to connect to the projection system, they now found a podium with a new computer, monitor, and connections for iOS …Read more at the full article: The New Standard Podium

At this point, we have adopted MyMathLab as an online homework system for the mainstream Calculus and Engineering Calculus Courses. We chose MyMathLab because it went along with the textbook we adopted for those courses and …Read more at the full article: MyMathLab and Carmen
