And how can Courselets help your students with them?

Courselets distinguishes two types of blindspots: those that are a misunderstanding of the specific concept(s) you are teaching, vs. gaps in meta-cognitive skills such as not reading the question adequately.  For example, some common meta-blindspots that Courselets can offer students help with include:

• I misread the question
• I didn't know a basic definition needed for this question.
• I couldn't figure out how to get started -- didn't apply concept(s) that I knew..
• I got hung up on a detail and didn't think through the main question.

If you check the box "Offer help for meta-blindspots" on the Edit Thread page for a question, Courselets will offer help on these issues when a student answers that question.  Otherwise they are not shown.  You can use Preview to see exactly how Courselets will present this to your students.
