Profile of a Successful Students Part 1
A successful student…
…takes
responsibility for his/her own learning
Online learning can be 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.
…is
willing to be a member of an online community.
Choose the Right!!
