How to be successful in online learning.

The online learning process is normally accelerated and requires commitment on the learner's part. Staying up with the class and completing all work on time is vital. Once a learner gets behind, it is very difficult to catch up. Basically, the learner needs to want to be there, and needs to want the experience.
 
An online learner should expect to:

• Participate in the virtual classroom 3-5 days a week
• Respond to classmates' ideas and questions
• Be able to use the technology properly
• Be able to complete assignments on time
• Enjoy communicating in writing
• Be self-motivated and dedicated
