This paper describes a project where a MOOC (Massiv e Open Online Course) was developed in order to blend a Circuits and Electron ics course taught to non-majors at Georgia Tech. The MOOC platform contains videos of all the course lectures, online homework, and quizzes. Over 400 students take this course on cam pus each term. Since these students were spread over eight to nine sections, consistency of overage and of grading was a major motivation for inverting this course. Another major motivation for the course inversion was to be able to introduce hands-on activities into the clas sroom so that students can get small-scale laboratory experiences within a lecture-based cours e. A number of different assessment methods are on-going with this course.
