I would take this post as a starting point, something along the lines of "OK, you did remote teaching, now what should we make of this online learning thing?" It takes us back to basics, where online teaching is about the interactions (more) between students and content, instructors, and each other (which we know is essentially the transactional distance theory of online learning). We could sharpen our understanding by including elements of design, as briefly mentioned in the post, or we could add depth to our interactions by considering social, cognitive or teaching presence (more). This is where we get beyond content, and incorporate things like discussions and group work. From there, the world of online learning opens up, and you can think about things like analytics for design, networks for interaction, and environments for learning activities.
