  Case: Parent problems
In the eLearning world, we are all still trying to figure it out. I have tried many ways to communicate with parents, provide many ways to teach material, differentiate instruction, and provide audio recordings of instructions when the students are doing independent activities. One parent gets angry almost every day usually about the work being too much, or too hard, or not enough instructions. I want to work with this parent to make sure they are happy and feel like they are being heard, however I am running out of ideas and strategies to try to make this happen. I wanted to know what eLearning strategies you all have used, and or, ways of talking to this parent to resolve the daily issues.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think this is a very relevant and timely dilemma. You don't mention what grade you teach so assuming your students are young, you may try speaking to this parent to see what they think they need in order to support their child at home. While you won't be able to please everyone and this parent's request may not be feasible, it may give them a feeling of control. They may feel like you're hearing their concerns and trying to meet them halfway.
