Abstract: The aim of this paper is to analyse from the educational point of view which are the interactions between online and offline, starting from a set of values that contribute to the stability and functionality of the knowledge-based economy. There are four factors that allow the integration and sharing of values through online and offline interactions: organizational culture, digital technology, implementation of creative methodologies and digital transformation. In this respect, the interactions specific to systems based on open governance were analyzed. Interactions between online and offline are also very important in the educational process. For this reason, we introduced a new concept, called TOTO ("Teaching Online, Transfer Offline" ↔ "Transfer Offline, Teaching Online"). This slogan is meant to promote the acquisition and transfer of knowledge in the future. Particular importance was given to studying the effects of the interactions between Personal Online Learning Networks and Offline Learning Teams. Since social media is a common tool for most socio-economic activities, it has been considered necessary to carry out a case study on the interactions specific to this environment.
