Abstract

More and more post-secondary mathematics courses are being taught through Distance Learning departments of colleges. Many web environments exist to present these courses, from home-made teacher authored web sites to publisher produced sites. It seems that the home-made ones take a tremendous amount of time to author, and it also seems like many of the publisher produced sites are either too expensive to use, not very adaptable to mathematics course work, or too rigid/boring to be effective with.

We propose a site that is rich in mathematical "bells and whistles", yet flexible enough for unique contributions from the instructor-and neither instructor nor student need be a technology "wizz" to function adequately. This environment, free for instructor use, is called MyMathLab, and we will demonstrate some of its features and workings.
