This sounds like an interesting topic and I wish I had the experience to actually write about it.  Since I don't, I found this article in Converge magazine's online site.

The article by Vincent Lowe & Avis Beiden discusses three parts of a successful remote meeting or course (Preparation, Facilitation, Logistics).  These ideas may not be new to you if you've been teaching remote audiences for a while, but hopefully they will be good reminders as you begin planning for another engaging school year.

You can find the first of the three articles here:  http://www.convergemag.com/blog/workforce/Education-Remote-Delivery-Best-Practices.html
