I was an early adopter of CPNs, but I stopped using them. Initially, the student responded to a CPN. It was as if he or she sat up straight in the chair, but then within a minute or two, slumped backed over, drooling. I couldn’t get a change in behavior beyond the “OMG” moment.

I can often, though, get a change if I am in e-mail contact with the student over the course of the term.

For example, if there’s an assignment that’s due on a Friday, I’ll check Saturday morning to see who has completed it and who hasn’t. Then I’ll send a very light “check in” e-mail saying I hadn’t see a posting or a paper assignment from them. The key is to keep it light and open. 80% of the time, they respond or don’t — but do work towards completing the late assignment.
