Students at home seem to lack the direct engage/reward mind set online. To reach students and have them get involved there has to be a structure to the material presented and a goal based program to adhere to. The students sent to engage individually on their own without mile stones to be reached will either fall behind, or not have a true gauge of progress. For each achieved section, a report on their progress delivered by them, or an activity that has to be completed by a certain time will help them have a check and balance method as they progress. One of the worse classes I ever had was a Dr. that would purely read out of the books with very little stop for emphasis on the key areas or pertinent information for the test. If the instructor would have had more structure to the lessons with set objectives, the information provided could have been better utilized on the test.
