Online education still tends to get a bad rap in some circles — especially among those of us who grew up listening to professors talk at the front of a lecture hall.

Quoted: Aaron Brower, who is serving as a special assistant to UW System President Kevin Reilly for new educational strategies, a role that allows him to provide leadership for the system?s new flexible degree initiative. Also mentioned, John Booske, chair of UW-Madison’s electrical and computer engineering department, the director of the Wisconsin Collaboratory for Enhanced Learning (WisCEL), and a believer in the value of the flipped classroom and blended learning.
