SUMMARY

The discussion centers around the development of a new online introductory Electromagnetism (E&M) textbook by Scott Hill, available at HTTP://textbook.scotthill.us. This HTML-based resource includes interactive elements such as animations, demos, and quizzes, enhancing the learning experience. The first draft is nearing completion, with remaining chapters on integration, induction, and wave optics. Feedback is actively sought from the community, and a Google Plus page has been established for updates and related online classes.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of calculus concepts
  • Familiarity with HTML and web-based educational tools
  • Knowledge of Electromagnetism principles
  • Experience with interactive learning environments
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore interactive educational tools for STEM subjects
  • Research effective methods for integrating quizzes into online textbooks
  • Learn about best practices for developing HTML-based educational content
  • Investigate feedback mechanisms for online course materials
USEFUL FOR

Students enrolled in E&M courses, educators developing online learning resources, and instructional designers interested in interactive textbook creation.

Hi! I am writing a calculus-based HTTP://textbook.scotthill.us. It is an HTML-based book with animations, interactive demos, quizzes, and so forth. The first draft is almost complete (I still have to write chapters on integration, induction, and wave optics), but I wanted to share it with a wider audience and look for feedback.

If you're interested in following along in its development, please let me know. I've set up a Google Plus page for the book and for a related online class which I'll mention in another post.

Thanks!
