Hi Dorothy,
The first step is to break the content of your course down into instructional "chunks". Then you can develop supports like worksheets, guided notes, guest speakers and other delivery methods that help to illustrate and reinforce the content they are acquiring. Get feedback from your students on a regular basis about how well they see themselves doing in the course and with the assignments. This will help you to see where you need to make adaptations in delivery that will more accurately target your instruction to them.
