Beam-target double spin asymmetries and target single-spin asymmetries in
exclusive $\pi^+$ and $\pi^-$ electroproduction were obtained from scattering
of 1.6 to 5.7 GeV longitudinally polarized electrons from longitudinally
polarized protons (for $\pi^+$) and deuterons (for $\pi^-$) using the CEBAF
Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) at Jefferson Lab. The kinematic range
covered is $1.11.5$ GeV. Very large target-spin
asymmetries are observed for $W>1.6$ GeV. When combined with cross section
measurements, the present results will provide powerful constraints on nucleon
resonance amplitudes at moderate and large values of $Q^2$, for resonances with
masses as high as 2.3 GeV.
