Cody has a wealth of problem groups that allow users of various skill levels to improve programming skills vis-à-vis MATLAB in an engaging way.

I would like to highlight the Draw Letters group, composed of problems created by Majid Farzaneh.

If you haven't yet visited Cody or solved that problem group, I would recommend that you head over there now. What are you waiting for?

Looking for solutions to move your course online? zyBooks and MathWorks have teamed up to provide free access to the Introduction to MATLAB zyBook for the remainder of the Spring 2020 semester.

This web-based book presents a comprehensive introduction to MATLAB through interactive questions, animations, and automated MATLAB assessment. Benefits include:

• Access the textbook, homework, and practice from one location
• Put theory into action through an engaging, learn-by-doing approach
• Improve student learning with instant, contextual feedback
• Save time grading with automated MATLAB assessment using MATLAB Grader
• See real-time analysis of class and student performance
• Create custom MATLAB assignments using zyLabs
• Use proven, prebuilt interactive questions and animations

MATLAB Online lets students run MATLAB without having to install the software on the computer. All you need is a web browser and an internet connection.

I would love to hear comments and experiences of using MATLAB Online.

The Webinar has ended, but you can view the recording here on YouTube.

MathWorks has developed several cloud-based tools to enable instructors and students to have access for teaching and learning anytime, anywhere. Join us for a free webinar with Dr. Elvira Osuna-Highley where we’ll discuss these tools, how they fit together to support your course development and delivery workflow, and how to use them immediately in your online course.

We will discuss several resources including:

• Accessing MATLAB Online and MATLAB Drive Anytime, Anywhere

• Leveraging interactive content with self-paced courses, MATLAB Apps, and Live Scripts

• Mentoring students at scale with automated assessment and feedback in MATLAB Grader

• Connecting students with the community by participating in the MATLAB user community

Thank you to IFEES, GEDC and IUCEE for sponsoring this series to help support educators across the world in moving their courses online.

We have created a new distance learning community for educators who are teaching remotely or online using MathWorks tools. It houses resources, such as articles, code examples, and videos, as well as an area where community members can ask questions or hold discussions around best practices in distance learning. Jiro Doke , who also writes for the File Exchange Pick of the Week blog, will be moderating this community.

We encourage you to visit the new community and share best practices, examples, and ask questions.

We have created a new page in MATLAB Answers that aggregates the most frequently asked MATLAB questions (FAQs). FAQs are common and a good starting point for anyone learning something new and having them all in one place can be a useful resource. Our new FAQ page lists the top 100 MATLAB questions asked and answered in MATLAB Central . They are grouped into the following 9 categories:

• Data Import and Analysis
• Graphics: Basics
• Graphics: Objects
• Installation and Licensing
• Language Fundamentals: Basics
• Language Fundamentals: Matrices and Arrays
• Language Fundamentals: Operators and Elementary Operations
• Mathematics
• Programming

I recommend that everyone scans the new FAQ page as you might find some useful tips.

We will be updating the FAQ page regularly as new questions are asked in the community. We welcome any feedback you have.

Hello Distance Learning Community!

I am hoping to hear from any academics in how MATLAB's online resources have helped you during this difficult time of transition to online courses:

- Have you had any issues or difficulties with getting started with our online tools?

- Do you see any areas of improvement that could better serve your course in an online environment?

- Do you have any stories to share of how these online tools have helped you to run your class and improve it for the future?

Thank you and stay well!

Education Customer Success (USA Southwest)

Hello everyone,

I’m Jiro, and I’m part of the Education Customer Success group at MathWorks. We help academics, students, and institutions achieve success through the use of our tools. I will be the moderator for this new community of distance learning.

As many academic institutions are moving their classes online, we hope that this community will help instructors connect with others who are in the same situation. This community site gathers various resources and information that will be useful for teaching with MATLAB and Simulink in a distance learning setting. We have a number of MathWorks employees monitoring this community, but we want this to be a place for the community to come together. The hope is that the community will grow and the resources gathered here will grow with it.

I encourage you to share best practices ( Discussions ), ask questions ( MATLAB Answers ), and share examples ( File Exchange ).

As a first question, what course are you teaching (or planning to teach) online?

Check out this pick of the week from Emma Gau. Emma's submission is featured on the Live Script gallery. Check out the blog post to see why Owen picked it.

Check out this pick of the week from Will. Steve's progressbar submission has been around since 2005 and still runs perfectly. Check out the blog post to see why Will picked it.

We are excited to announce that Adam Danz has accepted our invitation and now is a member of the Community Advisory Board (CAB)!

Adam has been a rising star in Answers, obtaining 4500+ reputation points in the past year! Furthermore, he has contributed high-quality files to File Exchange, with an average rating of 4.8. Adam also demonstrates good communication skills and the ability to work with others. Those characteristics are what we expect to see from a CAB advisor. You can learn more about him and CAB on the CAB page .

On behalf of all the community team, we would like to extend our warmest welcome to Adam!

Check out Sean's blog posts ( Intro , Authoring ) on Spider Plots. He's using spider_plot by Moses to create beautiful plots like this.

The following is a list of updates and new features for MATLAB Central, including MATLAB Answers, File Exchange, Blogs, and Cody.

New Features

Community highlights channel released - See this post for more details.

Answers comment UI change - A minor improvement to the user interface when adding comments to questions and answers in MATLAB Answers. This change should make it easier to discern between commenting and adding a new answers to a question.

Answers rich text editor update - The rich text editor has been updated to the 19b version of the MATLAB Live Editor. This update will primarily help with syntax highlighting along with resolving a few other issues.

Answer pages translation option - Answers translations options added. A translation option for questions and answers content has been added for French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Chinese languages.

Hey everyone! I'm spotlighting Nikolaos Nikolaou today because of the sheer quantity of his Cody solutions over such a relatively short time span. Nikolaos has submitted 1,161 Cody solutions over the last 6 months of 2019, averaging 6.4 solutions per day. Achieving a Cody rank of 19 with a score of 18,820 and earning him a plethora of badges (including the Speed Demon badge of course). He's completed 24 problem groups and is well into most of the remaining 35.

Way to go Nikolaos!

I'm please to announce this new MATLAB Central feature for posting community highlights. This new channel will:

• Allow MathWorks and the community leaders to easily post newsworthy items to the community
• Allow community visitors to respond to these posts with Likes and Replies
• Allow anyone to follow/subscribe the channel so they can be notified of new posts

What do we mean by newsworthy?  In short, this means anything we think some or all of the community might like to know. Here are some examples of what we’re thinking about posting to this new channel.

• New or upcoming community features or events
• User highlights (e.g. examples of good behavior, interesting posts)
• Interesting content (e.g. File Exchange pick of the week submissions)
• Release notes and new features
• Polls (future)

New highlights will appear on the community home page at the time they are posted and all past highlights can be found by going to the community home page and clicking the Highlights link in the right column.
