CREDIT Online Classes |
To succeed as an online learner, you'll need good study skills, time management skills, and the right computer gear.
What skills do I need to be successful in an online course?
Students taking online classes have a greater responsibility for their own success than students in traditional classroom settings. A successful online learner is one who…
- Is self-motivated to log in regularly, find details about assignments, and seek out help when needed.
- Is self-disciplined and able to work on a flexible schedule without getting behind.
- Can dedicate enough time to each course. Online classes require at least as much time as traditional classes, and often more. A typical 3-credit online course can easily require 9-12 hours per week.
- Is good at reading and writing. Online classes require more reading and writing than traditional, on-campus classes.
- Has good computer skills. You must be comfortable sending and receiving e-mail, navigating web pages, and using computer software, such as word processors.
- Has convenient, dependable access to a computer that meets the technical requirements listed below.
