A complete university-level mathematics course can be made accessible through the Mathematica software platform. We are developing an online Linear Algebra course composed of three elements: video lectures, online quizzes, and a student database. The content of this course follows a standard upper-level undergraduate course, with topics ranging up to inner product spaces and quadratic forms. We extensively use Mathematica's Manipulate command to illustrate these higher mathematical concepts in two and three-dimensional space. Our use of Mathematica software also includes randomized online quizzes featuring constructive feedback adjusted to each student's progress. We hope to demonstrate the importance of information accessibility and adaptive mastery-based learning as an effective method to promote solid comprehension of concepts. Our presentation at the Wolfram Technology Conference will include examples of our work highlighting Mathematica as an effective online course development tool.
