 Your first class should always be Face-to-Face
(or at least Real-Time) if possible.

choice of F2F or online should be made
available.

class that are synchronously conducted.
 Differentiate your Content Delivery and
Discussion Methods.
 Keep the Class Size Limited.

creating massive flexibility in scheduling the
course.
 One can gauge progress against the learning
outcomes and receive comments.
 Through it, supportive learning networks are
created that build upon face-to-face learning
with asynchronous collaborative learning.
 It saves time and paper, and provides
feedback quickly to each learner.
