Refer the student to the needed available community resources.  

Take the time to allow the student to complete assignments one at a time.

It's essential to have a lesson plan when teaching a class of adults.  The adult learner has a shorter attention span.  I would want to keep the adults engaged.  Give them knowledge that they can build on since they may be loaded with previous knowledge.  Building on that knowledge gives them the ability to increase what is known. and be more successful in applying newly learned material.

When posting announcements, ensure they are beneficial for the student to move forward successfully in the course.  Make organized postings relevant to the expectations of the course.

Communication is very important.  It must be accurate and easily understood for the student to follow and participate in the course with ease.

Comment on Tamar Silverstein's post

Students learn from rationales that are given to them in their feedback.  Encourage the student to research their incorrect information.      

Discussion Comment

The key to success depends mostly on the student.  Ask yourself how proactive the student is.  Build good communication with the student and steer them towards success in the things they make their instructors aware of.
