Is Online Learning for Me?
By Saul O'Malley
Aside from being able to use a computer and having convenient Internet access;
there are a few personal characteristics that can help you determine if Online
Learning is right for you. First, you must be self-disciplined. Holding yourself
responsible to perform the tasks required by your instructor is absolutely
necessary if you wish to pursue your degree online. Second is organization.
Keeping your online course workload separate from personal and work files will
help you to move quickly and efficiently. The last is, having the ability to
take initiative. If you have questions, ask them. Although there are no
classrooms, this does not mean you should expect any less of a dialogue between
yourself and instructors. Ultimately, if you are able to hold yourself
accountable for what is expected of you with the goal of advancing yourself and
your career, Online Learning is right for you! Now it’s a matter of taking the
next step and following through. |
