Online your questions to the instructor are posted so the whole classroom can see them. Sometimes it has made me feel stupid to ask a question that everybody in the classroom already knew. Give frequent feedback on assignments so students have a sense of what they have mastered and where they need to focus attention. Your presence in the class is important. What Online Students Want to Tell New Online Students Online learning is time consuming.
Many students believe that online learning is more work than onground learning.
It helps to be clear about your technical skills. Take the sample course or talk with the professor ahead of time and make sure your computer, keyboarding, email, and attachment skills will support your learning online. Choose your professors wisely. Just like an onground class, some professors are better than others at teaching online. This is far and away the best of the 5 online courses I have taken.
