Uncommon in the South African higher education landscape, online learning came to the fore during the global pandemic. We present an account of the use of Microsoft Teams for hybrid mathematics tutorials in a one-semester Vector Calculus course at a South African university in 2022. Interviews with the lecturer, analysed through a Community of Inquiry lens, showed the lecturer's perspective of the design and experience for tutors and students. Our aim is to improve the design of future hybrid tutorials to ensure engineering students' capacity in mathematics is well developed, their communication skills are improved, and that they experience working in a team. Future research will evaluate students' and tutors' accounts of their experiences. Our findings raise awareness of the possibilities and potential difficulties when using Microsoft Teams for communication, teaching and learning mathematics.
As a result of a worldwide pandemic, academics were guided to take their courses online. Making the Vector Calculus course fully online whilst limited to low tech options, all students can access, the aim was to creat...

This Research Work in Progress paper presents a typology for categorizing undergraduate extra-curricular activities. We observed that the all of the activities listed on a corpus of student resumes could be fully described by defining two levels of identifiers, the first of which describes the type of activity while the second is a descriptor of the activity. As a proof of concept, the typology was applied to resumes of participants in a program that serves underrepresented students studying engineering at a large public R1 institution. Simple descriptive findings are reported, and potential future applications are discussed.
The nearby radio galaxy M87 offers a unique opportunity to explore the connections between the central supermassive black hole and relativistic jets. Previous studies of the inner region of M87 revealed a wide opening...
