I gave a talk, Building Trust Through Transparency: Teaching mathematics in the browser - no black boxes, no installs, no barriers, at the TTLC 2026 conference, whose theme this year was Teaching and Learning with Integrity. The two-day event featured a keynote and workshop by Tricia Bertram Gallant, participant-driven plenary sessions, concurrent presentations by Texas A&M faculty, and a showcase of recent recipients of the university's highest teaching excellence honors.
