Welcome back Anthony
I think you need to focus on the teachers (assuming that teachers are going to be building their own courses). When are you expecting them to do that? (Do you need to free up some time.) As they are doing that, how are they going to know what to do? Do you need some sort of just-in-time support, if so, how? Also, as much as possible, you want the teachers focussing on the teaching and learning, not the technology, but they have to understand what the technology can do for them.
Finally, have the teachers been in the position of being a student in an online course? (They almost certainly have been students in traditional lecture courses.) How can they experience models of good practice? (Clearly everyone should take a year out and study an Open University course )
Finally, make sure you speak their language. I have been using the name of the Moodle role (Teacher), but that is probably not how they think of themselves. How can you get into their world?
