Re: [Phys-L] On Line Tutoring

Ron, I bought a high quality 4k deskcam and use colored pens on a paper pad for this part of online teaching.  Very happy with it for stand-and-deliver stuff, demonstrating how to work problems etc.  much better than any pads I tried.  Then pdfs for a record.

Trouble is I’m not happy with that kind of instructional experience for my students and haven’t a solution I like for online group discourse.   shared google slides in breakout rooms is best I can do there.  There is an online virtual environment called Mural that seems pretty good at online group instruction but costly.
