Reflections on the design and realization of an online course

Reflecting on the design and development of online learning activities is important to help improve and consolidate good practices. This paper analyses the issues faced and the solutions adopted in the design and implementation of an interdisciplinary online course, run within an international Virtual Doctoral School. Reflecting on the lessons learned from this experience allowed the author to spot a number of aspects where effective solutions were adopted to meet the context requirements and lead the course to positive outcomes.
