All about Online Learning
|
You may be wondering what to expect from a web-based class. Online classes are not all that different from regular classes. You'll have an instructor guiding you throughout the whole course. In some courses you will be able to interact with classmates as well. You'll have homework and you'll participate in various class activities. In some ways, the experience will seem very familiar to you. Still, online classes are different from regular classes in some important ways. You don't have to find transportation to school and fight for a parking space, because you won't be meeting in a classroom at a regular time and place. Communication with your instructor will take place online, not in person. Without an instructor reminding you what is due in class each week, you'll have more responsibility for your own learning. You will need basic computing skills and convenient access to the Internet. The skills you need most to be a successful online learner are the same ones you use in any class: preparation, organization, and self-discipline. The difference is in how you apply them. This site is designed to help you get the most out of your class by suggesting ways to apply existing skills and develop new ones. Study Guides and Strategies
