Some of the key points re:good pedagogy that contribute to meeting your delivery goals include:

1. Courses should focus on learning rather than teaching (student-centered vs. teacher-centered).

2. Interaction with the material should be student-controlled rather than teacher-controlled.

3. Content delivery should be based on student knowledge, driven by frequent formative feedback (classroom assessment).

4. Courses should be structured so that students interact with material in a pedagogically sound way.
