It is interesting for me how I feel like I am entering a new world when I enter this course. I am now, kind of lost, but have hope that I will be able to fit on a track soon enough.
Perhaps I am traditional in the sense that I enjoy "a" base source of literature (i.e. a textbook) and lectures. I guess that is why I normally come to Columbia in the summer for lectures - and do feel that online courses are often hard to follow. I have found that this course is especially interesting as I can get the feel for moodle - via these challenges.
I am working on deciding what exact school I will follow as I am interested in the Oregon Virtual School - but quickly ran into dead-ends, but dead-ends that were soon resurrected. I have ran into both the Salem public schools at: http://www.salkeiz.k12.or.us/ and Salem-Keizer Public Schools Online at: http://www.skonline.org/index.htm.
Now I need to determine if these courses are acceptable for the task at hand.

Stick with it! This is exactly what the world of online schools looks like at first glance precisely because it has not yet sorted itself out. This is the good news--it's an open field for exploration--and the bad--you can't lay it out neatly. Actually, Keeping Pace is a close to a textbook that lays out the field as anything we have so far.
