Begin with the learning objective
Choose the understanding or skill an activity should strengthen. A focused task is more useful than a large collection of unrelated resources.
Keep instructions practical
State what learners should do, what to submit and when. Use formats suited to learners’ age and device access.
Consider access and participation
Plan for differences in connectivity and study space, and explain how learners should seek help when access is interrupted.
Bring feedback back into teaching
Review submitted work for common misunderstandings and use them to plan the next classroom lesson.
