- Cardboard box question - what do you typically use a cardboard box for? I use it for putting stuff in - for moving offices etc. My children use them for any other thing - robot, space ship, house, cave, puppet show, boat... Don't be afraid to experiment and play with the spaces you've got online. You'll develop your own teaching style.
- ... but first, I'm going to ask you a question - what was your most positive learning experience? Any volunteers?

- Aim for consistency - whether that's agreeing that there is a common standard of materials to be provided in every module - handbook, assessments, revision materials etc or a common use of colour to help students know where they are.

- You don't need to worry too much about what system they're using (it's Blackboard Learn 9.1 if you're interested!)... what's more important is that you get them used to finding their course materials in one place, that they're using to navigating a VLE, that they know where to find any course announcements / emails etc and how you'll be handling assessments.
