Immerse the team in the model
•Define and plan your delivery model – adapt•Reduce the number of tools & infrastructure•Link activities to assessment
•Clarify where assessment will live
•Embed knowledge sharing & industry knowledge•Consider peer review and collaboration
•Use Multimedia in your content (yours/theirs)
•Consider rapid eLearning tools or off the shelf content (but be prepared to scaffold!)
