Teaching With Tinderbox

Fascinating notes and screencast on using Tinderbox to create classroom presentations and syllabuses, by J. A. Wilcox.

What's more, the fundamental unit of an assignment on my daily syllabus originates from a bibliographic entry produced by EndNote. First, I select references in EndNote for export. I run a PERL transformation on those exported items which produces a Tinderbox document. I then import these Tinderbox objects into my course Tinderbox document, rearranging and tagging the objects until I have a workable syllabus.

The screencast, Javascript in Tinderbox, explores ways to clarify complex materials, augment student notes, and emphasize key points — without giving the instructor any additional work. Highly recommended.
