Installer for MathDox

MathDox is a collection of software tools for interactive mathematical
documents on the web.

MathDox supports Mathematics in LaTeX, MathML and OpenMath and uses various
CAS as computational backengines.

MathDox is under development at the Discrete Algebra and Geometry group at the Eindhoven University of Technology.

A Windows installer for the MathDox software can be downloaded from http://www.mathdox.org

Linux users can find the necessary software at the download page of
http://www.mathdox.org

SCORM 2.0

Over 70 SCORM 2.0 White Papers have so far been submitted as part of the SCORM 2.0 process. The Program Committee will continue to accept submissions until the end of August.

This open dialogue about the ideas and concerns brought up in the White Papers, and about the future of SCORM, is underway at www.letsi.org/scorm2. You can read papers in your area of expertise or look over the informal comments and blog posts accumulated on the wiki. And, of course, if you've got something to say, post a comment. (Or you can just send an email to scorm2@letsi.org and they will post it for you.)

Synergies in the Development of Mathematical Editors

Dear Developers and Users of Mathematical Editors,

At the Doctoral Programm of the CICM Conference in Birmingham last week, one of the senior researchers challenged the developers of mathematical editors to sit together, compare their implementations, and find synergies.

That day, some of us sat together and thought that this might be a good point and should not only involve the developers but also users that might be able to point to valuable requirements and, in particular, take over the testing ;-)

Should JEM install a WebWork server?

Is there any interest in JEM hosting a WebWorK server for test purposes?

Lessons learned

In using technology to teach and to lecture, one is bound to make mistakes - whether it is the style file or the software or the animation not working, I am sure we all experienced some "demo effects" that have taught us lessons. I will start with mine:

  • Green is a bad color for projectors not only it is one of the major combinations in colorblindness (red-green) but it is also very hard to read when the background is light, e.g. white.
