As an instructor I entered the online experience with a good deal of trepidation. How could I lean over a student’s shoulder and point out problems with their code while I was in Athens and they were somewhere else? The actual experience was much smoother than I expected. Somehow, in the midst of summer internships and vacations, the online students did amazingly well. They completed the same assignments as students during the previous semester in our physical classroom, while managing to ask fewer questions.
