Some of the key skills for designing online activities and teaching online include to:

- design appropriate resources and activities to promote learning and the development of a community of learners
- develop, motivate and retain learners
- create online activities that complement other features of a blended learning programme
- manage tutor time appropriately and support learners’ time planning
- weave & summarise, challenge and facilitate discussions and interactions
