Multimodal

Desktop app for teaching

Multimodal is under active development (v0.2.2)

ABOUT

Please visit the OpenSyllabi website at https://opensyllabi.github.io/multimodal to learn more about the project.

FEATURES

  • Seamless editing of notes during class time - take into account what students discuss, rather than sticking to static slides
  • Interacting with your lesson as if it were a whiteboard - no more pacing back and forth between whiteboard and laptop
  • Hyperlinking of slides - refer to content that was previously discussed
  • Semantic structure adapted to class preparation and class reviews - provide more context than bare presenter notes
  • HTML and PDF export with different structures and layouts - export a simple webpage or a whole textbook

HOW TO

Multimodal is composed of a BOARD PAGE, in which you can see, create, edit and open syllabi, and of a TOPIC PAGE, where you can create and display lessons interactively.
