Milka,
How the student will interpret the materials how? Body language is important, but if you are just trying to determine if the students understand course expectations, then you can accomplish that through a short quiz of the syllabus and expectations. Well created assignments, discussion posts, and other interactions can provide a lot of insight on our students. You can always hold a LIVE face to face session with something like Skype or Google Hangouts.
