Planning is vital. Some of the issues that I have encountered and have succeeded are students who are time pressed so they are not able to get in the three separate days in order to get the maximum assessment points here. That said, I would set a call with them to help them se a feasible dedicated time for them to go in, even if it is Friday, Saturday and Sunday, as I am certain they can provide 20 minutes of their time in one of those days. They need to realize that this is normal and that they cannot make excuses not to log in. They are here for change, for the positive, so pushing them a bit will help them with this process as well. A second issue would be that they do not computer access or Internet Access. I always email and call them to tell them that they can go to a library or to a Wi-Fi area, if they have a laptop, as this is what I would do as an instructor should I encounter this issue. Mitigating circumstances are another story (such as weather, health, etc.)They are empowered to make the final decision and I think that our words of advice do help out!
In order to help them realize this and get them out of their old routine, ensuring to at least connecting with them and showing that you care and that everything is feasible can certainly help them improve!
