I offer alternate assignments and assessments and it seems that either a) students don't want to be bothered by the extra trouble involved in learning something new, or b) students select what they think will be easiest and still do not turn in acceptable work. I run a November inspired blog with student notes, homework, test prep, etc. and only 13 students (out of 97) regularly access the site.
