Internet Changes
Rebecca, I would say that it depends if the students are fully online (in which case there should be clear technical specs listed to help guide them, as well as an orientation etc.) or if your students are F2F - in the latter case, there must be flexibility from the instructor giving more time for all students to fully engage and provide access on campus before or after class to help.

Rebecca, Are you totally online or can your students come to a school location to work? We have students who struggle with this as well and providing flexibile access to computers on campus helps a lot... Dr. Ruth Reynard
