In general, we’re looking for resources, guidelines, and recommendations available to those trying to teach beginning algebra online; those trying to help students learn basic concepts & skills of college-prereq algebra courses online. (We use the term "online" here to include both fully online teaching/learning as well as "onsite" teaching/learning complemented or supplemented with online resources.) We seek resources that students can use alone, with other students, with or without expert guidance; to meet the notational, conceptual, and emotional challenges encountered in beginning algebra by most beginners.
