**Require Learner Participation:**
The main goal of this online work is to allow the students to think for themselves and search for answers on their own. As a teacher, I am constantly repeating myself and giving the same directions over and over again because many students just do not listen the first time, with this online work, they are having to do all the "listening" on their own. It is their responsibility to read the directions and know what is due and how they can access the information about each assignment and most importantly print the assignments or turn them in, whatever the directions say.

It is also important that the students learn how to use commonly used programs such as word, PowerPoint, and paint. Students learn with hands on activities so it is great that they can research and do little projects that introduce them to technology as well as science.

 * Revise:**

See how well the students handled the work load and the assignments by themselves and adjust accordingly. Also look at the majority of the grades and if they were good, then it was successful but if most students did less than average, then something was completely wrong with the assignments and they need to be fixed immediately.
