Most students take an online class because it fits with their work schedule or family life. However, that doesn't mean everyone is ready for an online class. It takes discipline, regular interaction, and self-motivation to succeed online. I am a really good teacher with a very organized course, but if you check out for 3 weeks, it doesn't matter how great I am, you will not be successful in this course!

I was a full-time online student while working full-time for almost 3 years, and even though I have over 5 years of online teaching experience, it is still very, very hard to be an online student! You need to be self-disciplined and be a strong independent worker to do well online. And you need to ask questions when you have them and ask for help if you need it!

Spend some time reviewing these Online Student Readiness Tutorials and using the tools to help you assess your technical skills and the world of online learning. You will get a better sense of what is expected of you and what you will need to do in order to successfully pass any online class! You CAN do this!
