Thanks for validating what I was thinking. As much as I love teaching I know most of my students took the class due to not wanting the face to face or constant contact. Most times students are happy that I am checking in on them but I have had those that are not. Part of our retention is that we call other instructors students and that's where it gets tricky as students don't want to hear from anyone other than their instructor. All I do is encourage them to submit work as stay active so they are not dropped form the program. Do you have any suggestions for me to use? Any help would be appreciated.
