What not to do
Straight migration
of resources
does not
work well
Don’t use
Classroom-style
teaching
One approach

does not fit all
Don’t assume
learners will
be comfortable
with online
learning
Don’t assume
the technology
will always work
Don’t put all
your eggs in
one basketDon’t reinvent
the wheel
Don’t spend
hours
on an activity
that lasts
