I do not think this process requires one to be a "technical wizard". However, one does need to complete the training required to be competent in the classroom. Realistically, any course development will be piloted and reviewed before going "Live" so any issues would be noted. 

Good Morning,

I think the answer depends on the course being developed and the platform used to deliver it. Before a course can be effectively developed, one must have the skills needed to construct the course so it can be implemted within the platform. This means that the instructor must have a thorough understanding of the virtual classroom and all tools provided. This will then allow the instructor to design the course with these tools in mind.
