Unfortunately no: the distance ed people are already struggling with increasing the duration of the existing online courses. To make this online, the distance ed people would have to create a new course, add all the students, add me, and I'd have to add the exam which is really frickin' hard to do. Plus, can you imagine trying to type the steps of a physics problem on a keyboard?

The closest I could come is a take-home exam, if I emailed the Word document of the exam to them all, but I don't like that idea one bit.
