Presenting Mathematical Concepts on the World Wide Web
Think Visually: Screen vs. Page Design

Remember that you have many options, although only a few of them will be covered here.

For each medium, you must understand its:

• capabilities and limitations;
• features and drawbacks, and
• special characteristics.

Here are three possible considerations, out of many, that were selected specifically because of the variation in the appropriateness of different media:

• Verbal: easiest and most immediate feedback once you've gathered an audience;
• Electronic: "in between" depending on accessibility and usability of various tools in your specific context;
• Print: least immediate, very portable, ease varies by context.

• Print: most accurate and durable;
• Verbal: requires time and tools for annotation;
• Electronic: many tools awkward or inadequate for accurate notation.

• Electronic: hyperlinks for extensive unobtrusive background;
• Print: citations, footnotes, and appendices;
• Verbal: least appropriate for a truly mixed audience.
