Is Online Learning the
Right Choice for Me?
If you have never taken an online class before,
you are probably wondering how online courses compare to traditional
courses. You might be wondering how you would fare in such a class.
Online courses have many things in common with
traditional classes - there are still instructors, classmates, course
materials and assignments. But the online environment offers much more
flexibility. And it requires more self direction and self discipline
from students taking advantage of its offerings. Later you will learn
more about what it takes to be a successful online student.
Since there is no set class schedule, you will
have to manage your own time. In online learning, while the class
usually does not meet at a specific time, there are still deadlines for
assignments and plenty of studying. Later in the Orientation, you can
take advantage of a scheduling tool that will help to ensure that you
can devote enough time to your studies.
