在线学习适合我吗? 问自己这些问题:

我的时间管理得怎么样?

The independent nature of online classes require a firm grasp on the ability to man年龄 your time. You will be required to set a regular study schedule, 跟踪作业和截止日期, 以及参与在线讨论. This may be more difficult without regular, in-person reminders from an instructor. This requires discipline to ensure that the course is not forgotten in your day-to-day activities.

Does my 残疾 affect my ability to process and comprehend written information?

适用于某些残疾人士, 管理内容, directions and discussion in an online course becomes increasingly difficult. Information in an online course is frequently delivered via written material on the class's web site. The instructor will not be immediately available to deliver the information auditorily or to provide clarification for any misunderstood concepts or assignments.

Will I need to utilize assistive technology to complete this course?

For some students with disabilities, the use of assistive technology is necessary. This can pose a challenge if some aspects of the online course man年龄ment system are not compatible with the assistive technology you are using. Try to use your assistive technology with the sample course to identify any challenges that you will encounter while eng年龄d in online study.

How comfortable am I with computers and technology?

It is important to be aware of your current comfort level with technology and computers. 你是数字原生代吗? 或者你是一个数字移民? Digital natives are those students who have grown up with computers, are quite agile in manipulating the technology and are comfortable using all forms of technology. Digital immigrants didn't grow up using technology.

For many digital immigrants, technology's widespread use came after they had entered adulthood. The technology is more difficult for digital immigrants to navigate and appears to be more mysterious.  Accessing all course information and instruction in an online format may be more intimidating and stressful than engaging in guided independent study. Knowing your comfort level with computers and technology will allow you to determine whether or not online study is for you.

• What kind of interaction are you expecting from the instructor?
• Are you expecting a lot of personal interaction or a little?
• Do you think that you will have a lot of writing to do or not as much?
