ABSTRACT

Questions and activities: a framework of interaction that guides the student through the learning process.

Course content: purpose-designed learning materials or links to suitable learning resources.

If your subject expertise is at the heart of what you are selling with this course, and you therefore must write some of the course content, allow lots of time. Many attempts at open learning founder because the course authors try to write all the content. This is understandable – we are interested in the content we teach! But it can wreck the economics of the course.
