We request from each participants:

• To have contents encoded in OQMath format with the following ingredients:
  • it includes and embeds pictures
  • it includes mathematical formulae appropriately presented for it to have tooltips
  • it includes several item types and a few relationships between them Please get in touch with me to be helped during Monday or Tuesday if need be.
• please send me ten lines about the infrastructure you typically wish to deploy ActiveMath on (operating system, speed and memory, network access, proxies, firewalls, how should learner access it…)
• please send, references to interactive mathematical exercises examples to George.
