Practice with Live Scripts, MATLAB Online, and GenAI

1) Go to Live Script Gallery

• Select a script to run (example:Heat Transfer in a Pipe or Calculate Heart Rate from Electrocardiogram Data)
• Click "Run in MATLAB Online" to run the script in MATLAB
• Once in the live script, click the "Output on right" icon on the far-right panel
• In the right-hand output panel, click right on your mouse and select "Clear all output"
• Use the "Run and Advance" menu item in the top menu bar to run each section serially.
  • Experiment with changing UI parameters or editing the live script.
  • Run, again. Did the output change?

2) Working with curriculum and Live Scripts in MATLAB Online

(If you did Option 1, below, at the 2023 workshop, jump down to Option 2)

Option 1: Select aTeaching Resource (below), scroll down the page, and click

• Fundamentals-of-Programming
• Numerical Methods with Applications
• Thermodynamics
• Run the live script following similar steps as in Exercise # 1, above.
• When you're satisfied with your Live Script, Export the script as a PDF. (Hint: Save menu)
• Save it in your MATLAB Drive with a file name of your choosing. (Hint: include the ".pdf" extension)
• Find the file you saved in your MATLAB Drive. (Hint: Open it from the MATLAB Online Files browser.)

Option 2: Experiment with the Climate curriculum

• Climate Data Visualization and Analysis 
  • Open it in MATLAB Online (using the button)
  • Select one of the 4 live scripts. Open it and then run and/or modify it using similar steps as in Exercise # 1 (above).
    • When you're satisfied with your live script, Export the script as a PDF (Hint: Save menu)
  • Save it in your MATLAB Drive with a file name of your choosing (hint: include the ".pdf" extension)
  • Find the file you saved in your MATLAB Drive. (Hint: Open it from the MATLAB Online "Files" browser.)
  • Consider how you could use similar historical data and policy-related content in your courses.
