Why do we need a new framework?

Most instructors have good intentions when creating online courses, however the strategies that should be utilized to make them effective are not easy to identify \cite{duffy2000}. One such concern is that utilizing some strategies that work during in-person synchronous instruction don’t translate well to the online environment (such as peer-to-peer interaction) and can cause both the instructor and students to spend too much time managing it, thus adding additional stressors to the course \cite{duffy2000}.
