| Discuss three (3) advantages to online learning. |
|
Definition
Self-motivation: You can direct your own learning environment and methods to fulfill course requirements to achieve academic success.
Independent learner: The online environment enables you to learn at your own pace, relieving the stress of feeling rushed or pressured that you sometimes feel in a face-to-face class.
Computer literate: Although it is not necessary to have advanced computer skills, you should possess a working knowledge of electronic e-mail, the Internet, as well as basic keyboarding skills. If you don't, no worries! I will help you along.
Time management: You must be able to organize and plan your own best "time to learn." There is no one best time for everyone, but the key to learning is to make the time to learn.
Effective written communication skills: You must use electronic e-mail and discussion forums to communicate with their peers as well as the instructor. The ability to write clearly to communicate ideas and assignments is important so I can help you be successful.
Personal commitment: Because there are no bells that begin and end classes, you must have a strong desire to learn and achieve knowledge and skills via online courses. Making a commitment to learn in this manner is a very personal decision and requires your commitment to academic success. |
