3 key things when developing online education
Post-Covid-19, we no longer live in an age in which educational experiences can be simply described as a dichotomy between online or not online.

For many universities until recently the most common mode of teaching and learning has been centred around sequences of face-to-face classes or sessions.
This mode dominates many universities' portfolios of courses and exerts the strongest influence on teaching and the organisational setup.
