Ximera

Ximera supports embedding of GeoGebra and Desmos interactive with a LaTeX command. An interactive answer box gives immediate feedback to students, and the grades can be integrated with Canvas, the learning management system.^[6][7] The accessibility features have also been promoted by the Mathematical Association of America.^[8]

The first Ximera course was initially released on Coursera in the Spring Semester of 2012–13 under the name Calculus One.^[9] MOOCulus, an online platform that lets you practice Calculus was developed at the Ohio State University to provide students a place to practice Calculus problems. The platform, which was built using Ruby on Rails was built because Coursera didn't offer an engaging way to practice problems.^[10][11] The whole course, which consists of 200+ videos, was typeset as a textbook on April 10, 2014. The textbook, which is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution Non-commercial Share Alike License, incorporated some of its example and exercise problems from Elementary calculus: An approach using Infinitesimals.^[12]

In 2023, Ximera received a $2.1 million grant from the Department of Education. Students are expected to save $4 million to $10 a year.^[1] As part of the funding, accessibility (defined by Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1AA) is a requirement, and they partnered with "Tailor Swift Bot" for that work.^[13] This is to comply with United States Department of Justice rules for Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, effective April 2026.^[3]
