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 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.
… is willing
to be a member of an online community.
