My records indicate that you have not accessed our P.L.A.T.O. course site in the last 10 days (Last Access Date - {LastCourseAccessDate}). This may be because you have already completed the current Module's activities or it could be that you are having some trouble and require assistance. If it is the latter, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me, so that we can get you back on track.
