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.
