Is Online Learning For Me? |
| Online courses can provide opportunities for students to attend classes anytime from anywhere. Online learning can be a great option for many students, but online learning is not for every student. Before you decide to enroll in an OLA course, please consider the following questions to help determine if online courses are the right option for you.. |
| If you can answer "yes" to ALL of the following questions, online distance learning may be an attractive option for your educational needs. If you answer two or more questions "no," you may want to resolve or improve in this area prior to attempting online courses. More than three "no" answers would indicate potential difficulties in successfully completing an online course. |
- Am I self-directed, highly motivated, and self-disciplined?
- Can I set a personal schedule and complete assigned work by the required dates?
- Can I classify myself as a good reader?
- Are my writing and communication skills better than average?
- Do I try to solve problems and work through difficulties independently?
- Can I read and follow detailed instructions on my own?
- Am I already comfortable with using the Internet as a means of communication and research?
- I have support at home and/or school to help me learn.
