I find students have very multi-tasking busy lives academically and personally and find it difficult to achieve a good work-life balance. Often students have told me they could not afford a book or do not reach announcements or materials and are skimming through modules and instructions and rubrics, resulting in a loss of points. Additionally, students often do not check emails daily which can be my only way to reach them. I find using the Remind Text that some colleges allow to be valuable as all students have phones and it is a quick way to directly reach students with important weekly updates or remind them to read announcements, engage in webinars or to reach out to a student who is at risk for grade or attendance and keep them from failing. I also post short Zoom videos weekly (showing students how to get to and use course information) with my announcements to address the visual, and auditory learners and have quizzes, discussions, and written assignments built into the courses to address written and kinesthetic learners.
