Imagine that you are a course leader. You encourage participants to contact you if they experience any problems in the course. It is Friday of Week 1 and you find the following message in the ‘Week 1 Reflections’ forum:

It is 20 minutes since the message was posted and none of the participants has yet replied. How would you respond to this message? Write your approach in the forum below. Then comment on what others have posted.
