Ken Baldauf Florida State University Program in Interdisciplinary Computing Takeaways It’s the Wild Wild West of online education– dozens of approaches, frameworks, and online tools are at our disposal.

Content delivery, student activities, social interaction, and assessment are all becoming integrated into teacher-designed learning paths. The social and community aspects of online learning are the most challenging, but can also be more developed online than in a classroom – with the right system.
