Solution 2

Students support

What are some important points you are going to use to support? Feel free to add more points if four is not enough.

· Student support is another solution for adult online classes and creating a conducive environment for them.
· For example, the institution may create an emergency kit that would help other adults in navigating the learning management system.
· It is also important for the college or university to share the support staff contact with adult students because at the end of the day a system must be put in place to help them and incase of any complaints or feedback about the system.
· Create a conducive learning environment in which the students will interact and help one another thus promoting teamwork and interpersonal connections
