I am about to create an online mathematics course where I will be using quite a few onscreen presentations, and I really should be using sans serif fonts for this. So, any help you could provide would be outstanding.

Does the OTF offer > something that the Type1 doesn't? The font (even the Type1 version) definitely contains all sans serif letters. I should check whether it also contains all math parameters. I try to use U+1D5C6 (𝗆) for example, it works. If I try to use U+1D62E (𝘮) then I get a normal "m" for some reason. (Maybe some math tables aren't complete.) What I don't know is how to properly switch to sans serif math "globally"/by default. The command \mathss gives upright instead of italic letters.
