Course design

Language teaching online is still an area in its infancy. There are so many ways of creating content, delivering content and teaching that it can be quite overwhelming. Despite having over ten years of experience of languages and language teaching I often feel like I'm starting afresh. The difference is that whereas you can find sources with detailed instructions how to behave in a physical class room, the resources are very scarce for beginning online language teachers.

I did a few Google searches for "online language course design", "internet language syllabus design" and similar concepts, and the results are very meagre. I have found that there are many ideas what platforms to use, such as Moodle, Second Life, Facebook, and so on, but virtually no suggestions how to actually go about it.
