Doenet Community Workshop

[Rob Beezer]

From Duane Nykamp, certainly of interest to PreTeXt authors:

We invite you to participate in a free five-day in-person workshop to learn how to create richly interactive classroom activities using the free and open-source Doenet platform (beta.doenet.org), which uses a syntax based on PreTeXt. Not only is Doenet a fun way to create cool activities, it is also a community of STEM instructors and authors who strive to engage students' minds and spur active interaction with mathematical ideas. We welcome you to work together with us to develop an open-source community, resources, and tools that enable anyone to create exploratory activities with feedback.

The workshop will include brief introductions and demos of features of the Doenet platform, as well as short presentations on how people are using Doenet. For the majority of the time, participants will work in small groups on projects of interest to them. 

Funding is available to support travel and/or local expenses. There is no registration fee.

Dates: Monday, June 1 – Friday, June 5

Location: University of Minnesota, Twin Cities

Deadline for full consideration: Friday, May 1
