It is difficult to learn online as students don't have the opportunity to ask questions and get an instant response as they may face to face. I often strive to create VERY detailed instructions/expectations including a checklist of tasks that must be done for each assignment. The thing I struggle most with is getting students to READ these instructions. No matter how I share them, announcements, email etc it seems there are always some students who completely ignore the detailed instructions. Does anyone else find this? Do you have any tips or strategies to get students to make use of the resources available to them?
