Part 1
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 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!!!
