  In Showcase Session: Gallery 04 - Distance Learning Across Contexts

Short Description

The deadline is Friday at 5 pm. Do you: (a) Begin working on your assignment Monday morning, in hopes of submitting by Wednesday? (b) Start Friday morning and hit the submit button at 4:59 pm? Or (c) Start mid-day Friday and submit it when it’s done and hope for instructor mercy? In this presentation, we present findings from a survey of online students that explores their approaches to deadlines on discussion boards and larger course assignments.
