This paper describes the experiences of synchronous on-line teaching of a basic calculus course at the University of Helsinki. Based on the problems encountered, the company WebALT Inc. (webalt.com) has developed services and publishes content (see a preview of the WebALT Calculus Course) which are tailored to support synchronous on-line teaching.
