From your senior management point of view there are no constraints
because their standard plan is;
1) Define some 'broad brush strokes' principles of how the college will
teach on-line.
2) Select a VLE that more or less fits those principles.
3) Put the principles in the bin.
4) Base best practice advice to course designers on what the software is
capable of.
5) Measure success based on the the percentage of teaching done on-line
regardless of the value of the activity.
What constraints?
