profile of a successful
part1
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 independetly. however, since most-if not all-of the learning takes place on your own time, you will not have the kind of direct supervison 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 enviroment. commitment, self dcipline and self-motivation are all key qualities to ensuring success in an online course!
....is a comfortable and confient with written communication
reading and writting 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 yoyur communication with your classmates and your instructor will be in wrting. iif 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 avalaible to assist you.
....is willing to be a memeber of an online community.
choose the right!!
