Before the creation of Massive Open Online Courses and Creative Commons, Calculus has always been taught face to face, i.e., in person which has been quite effective given all the competent STEM graduates and labor force of the 20th century. When the COVID-19 pandemic set in, every university mathematics department started teaching Calculus virtually using Open Educational Resources. Utilizing free e-books and lecture video recordings became normal. How has this OER transition and implementation impacted the learning of STEM students? Most published articles delved with generalized learning outcomes in their study methodologies and results. What about assessing OER’s impact on students’ learning at the level of course specific and measurable learning objectives? This research reports on the impact of Calculus OER on specific students’ learning outcomes; presents trend analyses of the students’ performance and success rates at each specific learning objectives in the course.
