Can the anchor <a> come before the list <li>?

Hello I was wondering if the anchor could go before the list like below. It seems to work but I was wondering if it was bad practice to do so

  <h3>Top VR Resources</h3>
    <ol>
      <a href="#"><li>Learn to create educational experiences in VR</li></a>
      <a href="#"><li>Virtual Reality in Entertainment</li></a>
      <a href="#"><li>Interact with buildings and products in VR</li></a>
      <a href="#"><li>Use VR for teleconferencing and social media</li></a>
    </ol>

You should wrap the <li> tag around the a tag, because the only child of <ol> and <ul> should be <li>.

  <h3>Top VR Resources</h3>
    <ol>
      <li><a href="#">Learn to create educational experiences in VR</a></li>

       ...
    </ol>
