Use of reveal.js for presentations

See also: teaching, teaching-mathematics, teaching-digital-technologies

The plan is to use reveal.js for teaching/presentations because

• It fits more with the whole digital-humanism/avoidance of Platform decay - personally and as walking the talk
• For teaching, I'll be doing a lot of mathematics and code, which the MickeySoft tools don't do well

Strategies

Use of pandoc deprecated

To generate HTML files with reval.js presentations but which can be served via GH-pages

• All reveal.js configuration options can be set through variables (-V)
• YAML meta data block can also be used

See

• Gist

  Include use of the CDN - https://unpkg.com/reveal.js/

• reveal-hugo - possible alternative to pandoc

Deprecated pandoc's conversion lost some of the important features. Too annoying. Hence going full HTML

Use of HTML

Current test bed

To do

• Develop my css for patterns e.g. this or this gist

  • Worksheets

    Have a collection of problems for students to work through but also support we demonstrating our working on the board.

• Install reveal.js locally to Memex to allow completely local operation

• update slide design - theme??
• Ideas
  • Smaller heading font placed further to the top
  • wrap around border?
  • figure/caption styling
