| Jan 13, 2015 at 11:12 | comment | added | Joonas Ilmavirta | @SanathDevalapurkar, perhaps until you have enough people who are interested in participating in a seminar. I suppose the number of people who dislike the idea is irrelevant, as long as you have enough people on the other side to get the thing started. | |
| Jan 11, 2015 at 14:39 | comment | added | user62675 | Hmm, so the votes seem to be very close. But then again, it's only about a week since the poll began. How long should the poll go on for? | |
| Jan 6, 2015 at 0:13 | comment | added | Will Jagy | @Asaf, I guess, Here is a question I posted on Meta in hopes of dealing with one issue, the online blackboard: meta.mathoverflow.net/questions/405/… | |
| Jan 6, 2015 at 0:12 | comment | added | Asaf Karagila Mod | @Will: It appears we do refer to completely different things then. | |
| Jan 6, 2015 at 0:10 | comment | added | Will Jagy | @Asaf, I'm not guessing, but we could be referring to different threads. I think mine was within the homotopy chat room, after the two had been successfully merged into one chat room that was owned by MO rather than something else. One idea hinged on writing directly onto the screen; people do use such things two people at a time, sort of Skype with a blackboard, no memory of what it's called. The other thing never got defined really, just the idea of guest lecturers; as matters stood, lots of work to do a lecture real time. | |
| Jan 5, 2015 at 23:48 | comment | added | Asaf Karagila Mod | @Will: Do you remember the historical events (read: did you dig through logs and old comments)? or are you making hypotheses? Because I can't recall those as the arguments against. | |
| Jan 5, 2015 at 23:46 | comment | added | Will Jagy | @Asaf, the repeated objections, for various versions of the idea, were largely that the software was not fast enough for real-time interaction with, say, actual handwriting onscreen, second that it was asking quite a lot of the lecturer. Both items would change with software changes over time... | |

| Jan 5, 2015 at 10:30 | comment | added | Asaf Karagila Mod | Back, back, way back, in the early days of the math.SE chatroom, I suggested something like that. The response wasn't quite enthusiastic, and there were good arguments against that. I just can't remember any of them right now. | |

| Jan 4, 2015 at 23:41 | comment | added | user62675 | I'd like to take a(nother) poll, and ask you to upvote this comment if you like this idea. | |
| Jan 4, 2015 at 23:12 | comment | added | Espen Nielsen | I will echo what I said in chat and suggest that a live Khan academy style presentation (with audio) might be very well suited for such a seminar. It would allow the lecturer to easily make any needed diagrams and relieve endless MathJax coding. | |
| Jan 4, 2015 at 21:26 | comment | added | Stefan Kohl Mod | If such online lecture should have advantages over simply providing a PDF file, I think it clearly needs to be interactive -- i.e. everybody needs to be able to ask questions. | |
| Jan 4, 2015 at 20:53 | comment | added | Joonas Ilmavirta | Sounds interesting, but I'm not sure if the chat is a good medium for it. I think there should be another tool for presenting the main material and chat could be used to support it. Maybe one could simply provide a slideshow and keep telling which slide to look at. If the seminar is supposed to be useful afterwards, all interrupting comments (these should be allowed from several people!) and supporting material should be included. Did you have specific plans about the technical realization? | |
