I think most of us have a good idea of what this looks like in a face-to-face class. The challenge will be to make sure the activities and assignments provided during this class meet all of the same opportunities. It might be easy to ease up on the rigor because multiple choice type tests are easy to set up and grade automatically in Moodle. A balance needs to be present, esuring that students are engaged in higher order thinking.

The course structure includes a wide variety of assessment procedures to assess students’ mastery of content.

Just like in face-to-face classrooms, it is important to use formative assessments as well as summative assessments. These might include forums, quizzes, feedback, etc. Like I mentioned in another annotation, it is important that we don't stick with the easy to grade assessments. Online courses have the potential to have more students than a classroom might be able to hold, but as instructors we owe to our students to make sure we ask questions that probe their thinking more.

Demonstrates growth in technology knowledge and skills in order to stay current with emerging technologies

First, if we have students go to a link or a tool that is no longer accessible for some reason, that could be a bit of a problem and would hold the class up. Also, staying up-to-date on new technologies and skills provides many more opportunities to incorporate tools into a course to make the delivery of the content of the course as accessible and appropriate as possible

I think this would be an area that would be easy to find yourself getting into trouble with. We need to give credit where credit is due, and gain permission from owners of sites, materials, etc. before using them. With so much information out there, we want to make sure we have quality information, without trampling on the rights of those who created the material.
