The holy grail of online curriculum development is that the online learning experience might be even better than the equivalent face-to-face experience.  After trying to create such a better mousetrap for many years, we may have stumbled onto something that succeeds.  Combining the best practice of slicing a subject thinly enough to guarantee a successful stepping through a topic with the Montessori practice of learning manipulatives, we have created what we call "flectures."  Each flecture is a slice of an online lecture map- database integrated area glossaries with embedded manipulatives- to engage the learner.  We will demonstrate several flectures.
