Procrastination and the Mobile User

My students can be the biggest procrastinators.  I suppose we all can procrastinate from time to time but I find that my students every year have trouble with completing their assignments early enough to have proper time for editing and self-reflection.  I teach in a graduate school; all of my students are adults and choose to be students at the school. We have discussions in class about the issue of procrastination but for some it seems to be difficult to change. I am hoping to find advice from the community on any tips or strategies you find effective to help students avoid putting off their work until the last minute.  Specifically, I am wondering whether there is anything related to the mobile use of Canvas that can motivate students to work in a more time efficient manner. Thanks!

I spent seven years in law practice before joining the faculty at Touro Law School in Central Islip, New York. I have been teaching Legal Process, the first year legal research and writing course, since 2003 and, in 2010, I proposed and developed the course Cybercrime which I have been teaching since its adoption. With an undergraduate degree in Computer Science, I have combined my interest in technology with my interest in the law by creating this popular elective course. In Cybercrime, law students study issues involving technology and the applicability of the Fourth Amendment, statutory regulations in obtaining stored data, cyberbullying, stalking, harassment and more. In June of 2014, the United States Supreme Court ruled on whether cell phones found incident to a lawful arrest may be searched without a warrant. See Riley v. California, 134 S.Ct. 2473 (2014). I appeared on the Touro Law School radio show, On the Docket, to discuss and answer questions about this case.
