Abstract
In this article I introduce a Web-based technology, called enVision, that extends the concept of a chatroom or whiteboard to include capabilities for mathematical and symbolic content. I also briefly discuss how this technology has enabled me to conduct online office hours in introductory mathematics courses, which has greatly increased office hour participation.
Intended Audience
