Reminders
Send out announcements for reminders. (Heidi)

Deadlines
Lack of face to face communication and instant demonstration can make it difficult for students and instructors to communicate effectively and timely, hindering a student's ability to complete assignments by the deadline. Instructors may need to be flexible about deadlines to ensure students fully understand and resolve questions they had raised (Yu and Brandenburg, p. 46, 2006). (Mary)
