This post is specific to using Blackboard - but the concept can be generalized to any online learning system. Be explicit in your directions on how students should submit assignments. Remember, you might have first-time-online students in your class. Additionally, students who are unsure of how to post assignments will (1) ask you to confirm receipt of every item that they post or (2) email you each assignment in addition to submitting it - just to "make sure" that you received it. I have posted a screenshot of the "How to Use the Digital Dropbox" guidelines that I post in the ANNOUNCEMENTS section of the class a week prior to the due date of the first assignment. I've found this approach to work very well!
