Truth be told, online learning isn’t for everyone. These modules will help you decide if online courses are right for you, based on your technology skills and experience, learning preferences, and ability to fit online coursework into your life. Taking these modules now, before you start your online course, will help you avoid many of the same mistakes that other students make when they’re new to online learning. Even better, they’ll help prepare you to succeed as an online student.
These modules are purely for your benefit, so take the time to work through the topics and think about how they relate to you as a prospective online student. Be honest as you complete the pre-assessment, and do your best as you read the materials and complete the activities.
