I present and analyze some data on students' perception of the effectiveness of different online learning tools from a survey sent to all learners (MOOC and campus). Finally, I propose some concrete steps to advance our Italian language academic programs: these include the creation of a platform to share our best practices, evaluate our programs and assess learning outcomes.20172017/05Springer International Publishing1102543-9Spainhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-59044-8_1https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-59044-8_1978-3-319-59044-8yesblended learningItalianlanguage teachingMOOCSPOChttps://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-59044-8_1Madrid, Spain, Europe
