Part 1: Moodle forums and asynchronous interactions
We recommend asynchronous interactions which do not require concurrent participation of everyone, as these are best-suited for supporting students across multiple time zones and have low technical requirements (in terms of bandwidth and technical sophistication). Online forums, such as Moodle discussion forums, are a good example of asynchronous forms of interaction.
...
For inline mathematics, use $$ … $$, e.g. $$\sin(x)$$.
For display mode mathematics, use [tex] ... [/tex], e.g. [tex]\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 4 \\ 2 & 3 \end{pmatrix}[/tex]
Sample code
Unfortunately, the parser does not handle line breaks very well, so display mathematics is best written in a single line.

to test $$H_0: \pi = 0.3$$ vs $$H_1: \pi > 0.3$$. The null hypothesis is rejected if $$x \geq 4$$.
Output:

Part 2: Digital writing of mathematics
Producing typeset mathematics is a time-consuming affair, making it cumbersome for asynchronous interactions and perhaps unfeasible for synchronous discussions given the variety of questions you might face. Physical writing of mathematics may be desirable in such circumstances, raising its own technical challenges.

Part 3: Video capture of hand-written content
A popular teaching approach in mathematics teaching is the ‘chalk-and-talk’, where the instructor works through a particular derivation, whilst simultaneously providing a meta-commentary (e.g. not just covering what is being done, but why and perhaps why others things are not tried).
