Orientation
Advice from Current Online Learners

Get a student's view point regarding online learning! Current online students have these
comments to share with new online learners.


  • An online class can be lots of fun as long as you set enough time for each class and stay on course.
  • One thing I did was buy a white board and wrote down all of the dates that threaded discussions, assignments, tests, papers, etc... were due for each class and marked them off as I did them. Kept me organized.
  • I am not sure I could manage a face-to-face classroom anymore after taking an online course. I love them! And believe me, if you set up a schedule for yourself and stick to it, they really aren't that bad.
  • You need to study hard and ask lots and lots and lots of questions!
  • I'm a late night person and do my best work late at night. So by doing online classes, I can do my work late at night and not be stressed out.
  • These classes work well with a busy work and family schedule. The best advice that I would offer new students to this process is to check your courses daily and always participate in class discussions.
  • You need to keep up with your assignments.
  • If you are not a self-learner, online courses might not be for you.
  • If you work well independently, then online might work for you.
  • Online courses take lots of time.
  • Make sure to complete assignments ahead of time so that you have plenty of time if you encounter a technical problem or have questions before a quiz.
  • You really have to do all the work and not fall behind.
  • Seek help when needed.
  • Have a regular time each week that you log into your online class and don't skip class.
