Abstract
I will give a talk about the use of JSXGraph to develop new introductory physics questions. These questions were developed using MyOpenMath, an online course management and assessment system for mathematics and other quantitative disciplines. MyOpenMath is a nonprofit organization made up of a collaborative community of educators focused on providing algorithmically generated assessment to support the use of free, open textbooks. JSXGraph can be used either by using a JSXGraph derivative provided as a macro or by linking to the web version. These questions are intended for introductory level university or upper level high school physics courses. JSXGraph was used for providing illustrations and interactivity. In the talk, several of the questions will be demonstrated.
The talk is suitable for both school and university educators.
