Very nice. Something like lesson plans with activities to help prepare students for online learning/teaching.

"The role of the online tutor is well documented as being central to the success of online learning and yet learners are not always completely aware of what the online tutor does, particularly in the context where the tutor is the facilitator rather than the leader of the group. For learners who are used to the tutor taking the lead and assuming the direction of their learning this may present a few difficulties and occasionally learners may complain that their tutor is indeed doing nothing." (p. 95)
