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 therefor requires a significant commitment from you.
All education comes down to what you’re willing to invest in the experience—this
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 this 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!!!
