Really useful tips on how to help students combat procrastination. Students often do this but I had never really had any good tips on how to help them stop.

I like the idea of the virtual COP. We know that adult learners are more engaged and do better when able to apply their own experiences to the course content. If they can share those experiences and also get feedback from their peers in the process, this will help solidify their learning.

Self-analysis can be an effective tool for anyone engaged in an online learning environment - whether instructor or student! It helps us examine our strengths and how they can be applied to online course structures.
