It is most often either 24 or 48 hour response time.Whichever you select as a logon frequency, it is important to clearly communicate it so thatstudents know how often to expect you in class and how long turnaround time will take ondiscussion postings. Once you have explained what students can expect from you as aninstructor, you can then clearly state your expectations for student logon.It is good practice to ask students to plan on logging into your class a certain number of dayseach week.
