ABSTRACT

We describe how we used Smartpens for the online computational mathcourse. The author has used Smartpens to create mini lectures and to show students examples and thorough solutions. In addition, each student was provided a smartpen and expected to use their smartpen to post solutions and comment on other student solutions. Examples discussed are related to rootfinding methods, computational integration techniques, smartpens, and Taylor polynomials. Student feedback about the course and smartpens are discussed.
