Is E-Learning Right for You?
- Are you a motivated learner with strong self-discipline? You will need to set aside specific times to get your work done. You may need to check in with your online class several times a week to keep up with class discussions.
- Are you comfortable expressing yourself in writing? Online classes rely almost entirely on written communication.
- Do you have computer access and basic technology skills? You will need experience with word processing, navigating the Internet, and saving, uploading and downloading files.
When thinking about online learning, you are the best judge of whether it fits your learning style and your schedule.
