A successful student…
…takes responsibility for his/her own learning
Online learning can be a powerful, stimulating, engaging experience for
the student who can work and think independently. However, since most- if not
all-of the learning takes place on your own time, you will not have the kind of
direct supervision you would in a classroom. Online learning therefore requires
a significant commitment from you. All education comes down to what you’re
willing to invest in the experience- this is particularly true in the online
environment. Commitment, self-discipline and self-motivation are all key
qualities to ensuring success in an online course!
…is comfortable and confident with written communication
Reading and writing are the basis of most online courses, so it’s
critical that you feel comfortable with form of communication. While some
courses contain modules that include videos or other activities, all of them
require significant amounts of reading. And nearly all of your communication
with your classmates and your instructor will be in writing. If these are weak
areas for you, you will want to address those issues prior to enrolling or
while enrolled in an online course. The PSU Writing
Center is available to assist
you.
…is willing to be a member of an online community.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!
