Even if your goal is to convert existing face-to-face material into e-learning modules, keep in mind that you are doing a whole lot more than transcribing text onto screens. The point is to use what you have but repurpose it so that it truly leverages all that technology has to offer.
If you feel that when you are converting your existing classroom course to e-learning you are starting from scratch, it’s because you actually are. Even if you have all the information and don’t need to do research on the subject matter itself, the online environment is different, and learners expect something else entirely.

Taking advantage of the benefits that remote working has to offer doesn’t have to mean giving up on creativity.
As teams are becoming more and more globally dispersed, technology becomes the essential glue that connects all members and facilitates communication. The best leader is the one who understands his people and inspires them to be the best they can be, even across continents and time zones.
Trust, inclusion and support are the three pillars upon which any globally dispersed team has to rest in order to work well and achieve its objectives. It is the job of the leader to consolidate these colonnades and fix any cracks that may appear in them over time.
