Check out this courseware developed at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign. It was designed for students to proceed at their own pace and class sessions consisted of a computer lab with a professor available to answer any questions or as a distance learning course via IRC/email.

(Long since paywalled away once illinois.edu rolled out their own remote learning agenda...)

It requires Mathematica, which is not free software, but the approach to learning mathematics changed the world for me. I hope this message can inspire some others put off by the lecture format and get their hands dirty playing with math.

And it would be cool to port the notebook format to something supported by free software or write a similar courseware for physics.
