网站更新:文章的问答和常见问题

我刚刚给网站增加了一个新特性:每篇文章都有一个Aha / FAQ部分。

网站更新:文章的问答和常见问题

You can add an aha! moment or question, and vote / discuss them individually. This extendsaha.www.i494.com, making mini-posts for key ideas in an article. Why?

Mine the gold in the comments

Several articles have awesome discussions, likeunderstanding e. There’s gems, but unfortunately they’re buried inside hundreds of comments, which is tough to read through.

If we can extract and rate key insights, we can build a “living FAQ” of what’s most helpful. These are good branching points for new articles as well.

Better collaboration

I love chatting math and finding new learning approaches. A few examples:

  • Audrey McGoldrickmade an awesomeanimated slideshowexplaining the introduction to calculus.

  • Joshua Zucker帮助我完善了我最近的“函数是盘子,导数是把盘子打碎成碎片,积分是权衡碎片”的比喻,并纠正了关于积分和不定积分的巨大误解。

  • Stan and YatharthROCK have been helping me develop ideas on aha.www.i494.com (thanks guys).

The aha / question area is like a mini-forum to discuss analogies. (Teachers, please ransack these insights and whatever is useful — every article is free to use, print, mime, etc. for non-commercial use). The goal is to enable conversations about what is actually working.

Continual improvement

我对这个小部件有一个邪恶的计划:收集每篇文章的改进!准确地知道文章的哪些部分有帮助(或没有帮助),会让你更容易地不断修改:我想让类比唱歌。

Try it out

The aha section is new, there’ll be some bugs, but I’d love your feedback anyway:

  1. 分享真正有效的方法。当你阅读文章时,把那些最有效的类比贴出来。

  2. Ask questions.Have a question that’s been bothering you? Add it!

  3. Vote on what’s helping.Just click the heart to rate an insight or question.

The aha section isn’t a replacement for comments — it’s a way to organize the best parts. If there’s other types of “aha” items you’d like organized (Followup:, Example:, etc.) let me know!
