Cloud computingleverages efficient sharing of on-demand, self-managed, virtual infrastructures, allowing swiftdeployment and adaptation of curriculum and laboratory experiences in step with the advances inthe field. Adoption of cloud computing technologies is a clear trend in online learning.1,2 Someeducators have used cloud technologies for years. Others are still exploring ways of incorporatingcloud computing in teaching and learning. There are many different approaches of implementingcloud computing.2,3 For educators with little experience in cloud computing deployment, selectinga suitable cloud platform to use can

Tilted Planes and Curvature in Three-Dimensional Space: Explorations of Partial Derivatives By Andrew Grossfield, Ph. D., P. E.AbstractMany engineering students encounter and algebraically manipulate partial derivatives in theirfluids, thermodynamics or electromagnetic wave theory courses. However it is possible thatunless these students were properly introduced to these symbols, they may lack the insight thatcould be obtained from a geometric or visual approach to the equations that contain thesesymbols.We accept the approach that just as the direction of a curve at a point in two-dimensional space isdescribed by the slope of the
