ELS CAN BE ADJUSTED, TOO.  I NEVER READ FROM A SCRIPTED TEXT WHILE
TEACHING.  IT IS THE SAME AS IF I AM WORKING WITH MY STUDENTS IN FRONT OF A
CLASS OR AS PART OF A SMALL GROUP.  ACCESS TO THE INSTRUCTOR NO MATTER WHAT
LEVEL COURSE IM TEACHING, I CANNOT ASSUME THAT EVERYONE WILL UNDERSTAND
EVERYTHING.  I INVITE QUESTIONS BY GIVING MY CONTACT INFORMATION IN THE
AUDIO AND IN E MAIL REMINDERS ABOUT UPCOMING LECTURES.  A STUDENT CAN ASK A
QUESTION AS EASILY AT 400 AM AS ANOTHER CAN AT 700 PM.  TO MAKE IT EASY FOR
MY STUDENTS TO CONTACT ME, I KEEP REGULAR OFFICE HOURS AND STRUCTURE MY
WEEK TO INCLUDE REGULAR E MAIL REMINDERS TO MY STUDENTS.  I USE A MAILING
LIST TO MANAGE THIS WEEKLY CONTACT, AND HAVE SET THE REPLY TO RETURN TO MY
OWN E MAIL ADDRESS IN CASE A STUDENT HAS A QUESTION ABOUT THE MATERIAL.  
THE POINT IS TO MAKE IT EASY TO CONTACT ME.  DISTRIBUTION OF MATERIALS SOME
E MAIL SERVICES LIMIT ATTACHMENT SIZE WHILE OTHERS ALLOW LARGE FILES.  IT
IS ALMOST ALWAYS BEST TO PLACE THE FILES ON A SERVER SOMEWHERE AND THEN TO
SIMPLY REFERENCE THEM IN AN E MAIL MESSAGE OR ON THE CLUB WEBSITE WITH A
PATH TO THE FILE.  SOME USERS HAVE LIMITED BANDWIDTH, ESPECIALLY IF THEY
ARE GETTING THEIR INTERNET VIA A SMARTPHONE OR TABLET THROUGH A CELLULAR
CARRIER.  THOSE USERS WILL NOT APPRECIATE GETTING HUGE FILE ATTACHMENTS
THAT SLOW DOWN THEIR MESSAGING AND BURN THROUGH THEIR DATA PLANS SEE FIGURE
