Using electronic mail to motivate students

Abstract 

Associate degree nursing faculty often note that students come to class poorly prepared to participate in class activities and discussions. Students who fail to complete reading or other assignments are ill prepared to participate in active learning and are at risk of falling behind in course work. Electronic mail (e-mail) is one strategy for motivating students to complete assignments prior to class and to help students focus on the content that will be presented during upcoming class sessions.
