Please answer the following
questions to help you determine whether your learning style is compatible
with online learning.
1. Are you comfortable with technology?
2. Are you self-motivated to complete tasks?
3. Do you have good time management skills?
4. Can you work independently without direct supervision?
5. Is communicating entirely by reading and writing a satisfying
method of learning for you?
If you answered yes to all of these questions, you are likely to be successful
in an online environment.
If you answered no to any of these questions, you may benefit more
from the traditional classroom environment.
Online courses are more convenient, certainly, but they are not easier than face-to-face courses. It is absolutely essential that online students participate fully and regularly, according to the course requirements, as full participation is the only way to complete the course.
It may be helpful for you to take the Orientation
Session for Blackboard to get a better idea of how our course
management system functions. Please feel free to try out our Sample
Blackboard Course if you would like to see what it's like to
use Blackboard. Just log in as "destudent", and use "destudent"
as your password. The Sample Course will be listed under "my
courses."
