A: Generally, the content for the project isn't hard at all since the content is fairly easy to find and locate.  I encourage your group to challenge how you may create effective "online learning community" to enhance an dot facilitate your target audiences to learn about the content.  In other words, what online instructional strategies you may integrate to support your "online learning activities" to facilitate your "online learning community" is the key.  Generally, this is the part that groups may overlook.
