Abstract

When I was a full time Instructor at Great Falls COT from 2000 to 2005, the COT "pioneered" some online and hybrid courses offered in the curriculum, including "core" courses in mathematics. After a year or so, at least half of my course load was internet driven (including summer offerings), and when I had a pulmonary embolism I taught all Great Falls COT courses (4) from my home in Missoula the following semester. This colloquium is a summary of my experiences, my successes (few), my failures (many), and what I learned from my experiences teaching distance mathematics core courses.
