Dr. Jim Fowler will describe the first two iterations of MOOCulus: the large-scale open online calculus that he and his team have presented in the Coursera platform with the support of the Office of Distance Education and eLearning. Dr. Fowler will describe the work  required to present these courses and the impact on students worldwide.  He will then discuss ways the lessons learned from these courses can be used to improve math education of OSU students via the use of online tools, hybrid teaching methods, and the examination of data about patterns in student learning.
