I like the concept. I'd much rather have this built on top of or from something like MOOCulus. https://ximera.osu.edu/mooculus/calculus1 https://ximera.osu.ed

Holistically, I prefer MOOCulus. However, the value-add of Calculus with Julia is large. If the two could integrate somehow... the key thing about MOOCulus is the writing quality is better (much less verbose), and the integrated exercises means kids follow it closely. It's also very refined, from a lot of classroom use.
If it were forked and Julia-enhanced, that would be a very big step up, though. As would the addition of applications.
- bmitc 2y agoI checked out the website, and it's really hard to even know how to use. Plus, the first thing I clicked on, "Equal or Not?", has errors.
- blagie 2y ago* The usability issues are 95% CSS issues, and would require a good UX designer. They're distracting for the first 10 minutes, but really need a fix. * I've had students go through two semesters of courses. We ran into two minor errors. We fixed them. In my experience, the content is rather bug-free. Contributing a fix takes all of five minutes. Hit "edit" at the top right, make the change in the github UX, and submit a PR. The quality of your bug report here leaves much to be desired. Are you talking about the Devyn / Riley dialogue at the top? If so, many of those appear designed to highlight misconceptions which are then addressed in the text. See "vicarious learning" for research evidence on how this works (and in practice, students seem to like the dialogues too).
