Thread:A course which personalizes authentic math learning for each individual learner (3)

Just to clarify, LibreOffice is related to OpenOffice (wp says it's a fork of OpenOffice.org). As far as I can tell Calc works the same in both; I use Calc almost exclusively. The difference will come out in how you access various commands, as LibreOffice is standard in the newer version of Ubuntu (which has a different GUI). I think we can use the WE community to help us determine whether one tutorial will work for learners using Calc in varying operating systems.

I did a search on "Wolframalpha tutorial". A few items came up, including the intro by Stephen Wolfram, but nothing that's specific just to math. I think it'd be pretty simple to explain how to use it and the information available in the results screen.

In the version of this course at ESC, do you find that learners need help with how to type an equation into the computer (or calculator, for that matter)? Do you explain this in your Excel tutorial?

Just some further thoughts.
