Considerations for online study
Studying online is a new experience for many people. It is different to leaning in a classroom, face to face with a teacher and in the company of other participants. There are some considerations you need to make before you enroll in an online course:
- Do you have the prerequisite equipment?
- Are you willing to make a commitment to spend the necessary time in study?
- Do you have the skills necessary to communicate with your teacher; e-mail, e-mail attachments, word processing?
- Do you have a quiet area where you can set up your PC and work?
