“Choosing the best blend for a learning situation is a new skill. Designing a Web environment to integrate the components of the blend is also a new skill.“
This implies that role of trainer changes: ◦ Less face-to-face instructional activities
◦ More ICT savvy
◦ Broader repertoire of learning activities
◦ Community manager
◦ Moderator
◦ Facilitator

(1) "The delivery of formal and informal learning and training activities, processes, communities and events via means of all electronic media like Internet, intranet, extranet, CD-ROM, video tape, DVD, TV, cell phones, smartphones et cetera."
(2) “E-learning comprises all forms of electronically supported learning and teaching. (..) The term will still most likely be utilized to reference out-of-classroom and in-classroom educational experiences via technology, even as advances continue in regard to devices and curriculum.”

How and when can I use peer feedback / review?
What are exactly the training needs of the learners; which skills should they acquire?
How can i deliver (digital) content before and after?
