This manual has been designed for teachers, researchers, and course administrators involved in developing online programmes.

Some of the guidelines can be used in on-campus, blended, and fully online courses.Section 3 also provides some practical guidelines for EUCERMAT teachers, to ensure a consistent look-and-feel for their online courses, but the guidelines may of use to teachers in other disciplines also.The appendices comprise links to useful resources for teaching and learning online.
