Teaching a class that involves homework?Suggestions for helping the students with the assignments are found in a recent Inside the School Update that contained an article titled “Posting Homework Online” by Diane Trim. The following points are particularly relevant to community learning students.
- Post assignments on the Internet. This can be accomplished using social media such as a blog.*
- Assignments are easily retrieved when on the Internet. If a student misses a meeting, they can obtain the homework themselves and not fall behind.
- Posting the assignments also serves as a reminder. Our adult students lead busy lives and often appreciate being reminded.
- When writing the assignments, use a common/generic word processing program. Not everyone has the latest version of all programs.
- Keep the assignments brief. This results in a small file size, allowing for a quick download. Those with a dial-up modem will appreciate it.
*More information on social media and blogs will be forth coming.
