1. Online Learning
Instead of planning how to teach for a number of class
hours, we plan how students will learn by designing
online learning activities for a specific period of time
(in weeks).

2. Define the specific learning objectives for each unit
3. Design the learning activities (try to promote active learning)
4. Specify what resources will be needed (existing or to create)
5. Define the assessment methods

diverse students.” (p.15)
