Tutor Profile Think about the following issues before you start an online course. Sometimes online learning students find it difficult to maintain participation in their courses because of personal or professional circumstances. If you have a compelling reason for taking the course, it will help you stick with it.
Some people learn best by interacting with other students and tutors.
Others learn better by listening, reading and reviewing on their own. Online learning requires you to work from written directions. It may take as long as two to three weeks to get comments back from your tutor in online learning classes. Online learning requires at least as much time as classroom-based courses. Most people who are successful with online learning find it difficult to come to a class on a regular basis because of their work, family or personal schedules.
