Google Doc templates for science and math teaching.  Aimed at secondary school, there may be examples that can be reworked for higher levels or used with bridging programmes.

Book describing creating maths courses using Moodle.

Displaying Maths in Moodle and using MathJax.

Probably higher level school/undergrad level. Ones I've seen are 'interesting' takes on maths rather than dry lecture type stuff.

"Xournal + a cheap tablet computer + a projector = a fairly cost effective interactive white board."

Report on WA and how teaching might have to change since it can solve complex equations and show the steps involved.

Interesting maths editor and associated tools. Java based and looked like it just inserted a picture of a formula but has another feature which will actually calculate your entries. Need to examine in more detail.
