Re: [STUG] EAC tablet Homework

I hope everyone is ready for co-op / more classes.

Hopefully we can get STUG back into the swing of things.  There won't be a meeting this upcoming week but expect one the second week of classes after schedules get straightened out.

As for the matter at hand: the Journal Template sat idle most of the break but I actually attempted to make some progress (my attempt at avoiding packing).  Here is my (poor) attempt at an instruction sheet.  I have a feeling that more instructions are going to be required.  (How to download it, how to use it, how to print correctly...)  Also, the template itself may need to undergo another revision to attempt to straighten out some margin issues.

I just thought I'd send this out to get people's thoughts on the matter.

See you all soon!

Like Steven said, we have been playing with a template.

What we were looking at is making basically a background.  It would include the lines ruled at the top and side margin of the paper.  Also, including EAC and Unit at the top of the page may be useful.

One of the big questions is if it is best to include a grid.  It could be a very, very light grid.  We will probably need to ask some questions when we submit the idea.

The problem is having it very easy to use by making it a Journal Template and actually meet all of the requirements.

Subject: [STUG] EAC tablet Homework



Hi all,
We, (me and Jared) were trying to come up with a template for doing
EAC homework in Journal.  To that end I was wondering whether anyone
would support such a movement.  If so please post here to give
suggestions.  Once we have a viable template we plan to approach Dr.
Ralston and get her opinion on the idea.  Again, if you have ideas or
would support the idea please respond to this post.

Here is a revised copy of the template and the instruction sheet.  The previous one contained mistakes.

FYI: There will be another instruction page detailing the technical requirements for using and printing the template.

@Calculus Instructors: We are ready to push this out for wide spread use when you are.  STUG members are already using it for homework.  The biggest "trick" is setting the page up to print correctly.

Just another reminder since people are starting to use the template in class to turn in homework.

Before you print the Journal file you need to go to the options and click the check box for "Background colors and images".

I attached a picture of what the box looks like.

Hopefully STUG will have a "screencast" in the next few weeks explaining everything with regard to using Journal.

We need to have a simple, one-sheet instruction sheet with the download link (STUG Group for now?), and that screen shot below. As soon as we have that, we can distribute in EAC. Earlier people start using it, the better in my opinion.
