Facilitating Moodle Courses: Participants Who Fall Behind

1. Topic 4: Participants Who Fall Behind
It is important to contact participants who fall behind in a
timely manner so that they do not get so behind that
they give up.
Often there is some extenuating situation. If your course
allows some flexibility, you can work out a solution
together. For example, you cannot negotiate the end
date of the course, but you could negotiate the due date
for a specific assignment.

2. Topic 4: Participants Who Fall Behind
For participants that start the course
so late or fall so far behind that they
cannot complete, you may suggest
that they take the course the next time
it is offered. They will need to start at
the beginning of the course.
We do not extend course deadlines
out of respect for those who do
complete the course on time, and for
SABES staff who usually are
supporting concurrent DL courses.
