From 2002 Guide
• Designing the right mix of online and off-line activities • Keeping tabs on individual students’ progress• Catering for different learning preferences and
learner needs• Adopting student-centred approaches, and learning
to become a ‘guide’ or ‘facilitator’• Dealing with the pragmatics of teaching online – e.g.
administrative and support requirements, and issues of time
• Dealing with technical issues
