Is learning online for you
WHAT MAKES A SUCCESSFUL ONLINE STUDENT?
Before deciding whether online learning will fit your educational needs and personal circumstances, students and parents need to be aware of:
- who is likely to succeed with distance learning
- whether you have some of the characteristics to be a successful online student
- the expectations of the parent or guardian as facilitator in their child's education
This type of learning environment isn’t for all students. Successful students are:
- self-motivated
- independent learners
- computer literate
- effective time managers who know how to organize their time and tasks
- have effective written communication skills (much of the communication with a teacher will be via email)
- personally committed to this type of learning environment
- learners who have the support of a responsible adult to work with them and supervise their progress
