The rapid transition to remote teaching provided an opportunity to rethink the way we deliver content. If you were an instructor of a math course or a math-based course, you probably would have had to address how to effectively demonstrate step by step calculations, drawing diagrams and graphs online. One of the challenges with remote teaching is being able to effectively teach or demonstrate material that consists of equations, diagrams and graphs. This page will provide various techniques on how to share mathematical calculations, draw diagrams and graph data.
