Step subject-specific Vtélab on the use of the innovative pedagogical practice in mathematics teaching

On 15 January 2021, took place the first subject-specific Vtélab on the use of the innovative pedagogical practice in mathematics teaching. This event was organised as part of the inter-college pedagogical meetings initiated by the Cégep St-Lawrence. We’ve explored the PreTeXt software, which is a markup language for capturing the structure of textbooks and research documents in the mathematical sciences. Thanks to Jean-Sébastien and Philémon Turcotte from the Cégep Gérald-Godin, as well as to Julien Giol for their presentations and fruitful exchanges.
