Another Look at "Comparing Online Programs"

So I looked back at the Google spreadsheet where I placed FLVS Florida virtual state school and AZVA Arizona charter school on the appropriate columns.
After all the readings I've done and the discussions I had with my classmates, I moved FLVS on Learner Autonomy from Both to Independent Self Paced. Having a better understanding now of what it means to have a collaborative course, I don't see FLVS doing any real collaborative class-paced courses.
I also moved student-student activity from High to Medium and I'm even tempted to take it down to low, given how FLVS can do a lot more in that area based on all the student-student interaction models and ideas we discussed this week.
I'm surprised as I thought when I did that assignment that I got it right. It's interesting to see how the new knowledge I gained has provided more richness to the way I view virtual schools.
