While many people are skeptical about, incorrectly assuming that a face to face relationship with an instructor is vital to the learning process.
For many, however, a traditional on-campus approach to learning just isn’t viable. In these cases, the ability to work from home on a more flexible timetable it keys to the student’s ability to learn and, in this article, we’ll be looking at ways you can excel as an online-only student.
One of the great benefits of online learning is the flexibility it brings to the learning process. However, this can also make it hard to organize your time. To combat this, create yourself a learning schedule that helps you to track things like papers, quizzes, readings and project assignments.
First, review the course syllabus and calendar and then try to anticipate how much time you need each week for each assignment, and write it down on a calendar. With this base schedule craved out, you can adjust it to fit your specific needs.
Communication with your instructor can be easier in person, but there are more opportunities for communication with an online instructor outside of lesson time. Most instructors are open to you calling, texting, or emailing them and they are able to respond to you through just as many channels.
A good classroom learning environment is free of all distractions. This is not true of your home, in fact, it’s full of all your favorite distractions. The key to success online is to pace yourself and follow your schedule to make sure you log in, complete discussion posts, turn in assignments, take quizzes, read and anything else the class requires all on time.
With the flexibility of online learning comes the responsibility to plan your success. Sticking to your schedule and asking for help when you need it will allow you to be successful in your education. Follow the simple steps above, and enjoy learning online.
