Online learning

Students, ready for online learning?

You are if you:

• Can devote as much time if not more to an online course as you would a traditional class (Online classes rarely take less time than a traditional course and may, in fact, take more time. The greatest benefit to online learning is the flexibility of not having to be in an actual classroom on a routine basis.)
• Can perform basic computer operations that enable you to use a computer efficiently and effectively
• Have access to a computer with an Internet Browser and a word processing program
• Understand that online courses may require campus visits or proctored exams - consult your online instructor for more details
• Learn and understand through reading
• Communicate effectively through writing
• Are a self-motivated and self-disciplined learner
