Profile of a Successful Student
Part 1
A successful student...
…takes responsibility for his/her own learning
Online learning can be a
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 a 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!!!
