Students who procrastinate run the risk of not completing their assignments on time. In turn, they may not receive the critical feedback needed for completing future assignments. I tend to check in with students periodically throughout the week (I teach a 5-week class) to provide encourage and tips on staying on track. Periodically, though, I still have students to wait until the weekly deadline to submit their work. In addition to time management skills and continuous coaching, what other things have you seen work to get these procrastinators on task?

Great ideas. Thank you!

Active participation is essential to online course completion success. However, sometimes a students activity level falls below expectations. What ideas do you have on getting the student back on track when they have fallen behind?
