Saturday, September 25th 2010 we will meet in the LearnCentral public Elluminate room at 11am Pacific / 2pm Eastern time. **[|WorldClock for your time zone.]**

If this is your first Elluminate event, consider coming a few minutes earlier to check out the technology. The room opens half an hour before the event.

About the project
The inter2geo project aims at making interactive geometry exchangeable and exchanged.

The project's platform is an online service used by teachers to share and find interactive geometry resources. It accepts any format or any URL but offers more services for interactive geometry:


 * the construction files can be retrieved and **played**
 * a **preview** of the resources can be submitted
 * the resources are **tagged** with topics, competencies, and educational levels encoded in an internationalized ontology
 * the resources can be **reviewed** so that the impact on the learning is reported about

This is constructed with an international objective: multiple languages are offered (currently 12) and the annotations are multilingual themselves. Contributors of the world ("curriculum encoders" and "translators") help bringing this dimension.

We shall present the objectives of the project, how far we are, as well as a little demo.

Event Hosts
A mathematician, from the University of Lausanne and UQAM, Paul has been recycled into programming for mathematics on the web. Since 2000 he is in Saarbrücken, Germany, working on the ActiveMath learning environment and, since 2007, for the Inter2geo project. His research interests include information use and re-use for mathematical documents (semantic encodings, clipboards, authoring, sharing) and retrieval with a twist towards engineering for multiple cultures. || Professor of math didactics at Université Claude Bernard, Lyon (France), Christian is specialized in Discrete Differential Geometry and in Interactive Geometry. He has worked at University of Montpellier, Technical University of Berlin, University of Melbourne, Tel-Aviv University, and Mittag-Leffler Institute. Christian's PhD is from University of Louis Pasteur, Strasbourg, and he graduated from the École Normale Supérieure de Paris. ||
