Profile of a Successful Student
Part 1
A successful students…
…takes responsibility for
his/her own learning
Online learning can be a
powerful, stimulating, engaging experience for the student who can work and
think independently. However, since most- if at all – of the learning takes
place on your own time, you will not have the kind of direct supervision you
would in a classroom. Online learning therefore requires a significant
commitment from you. All education comes down to what you’re willing to invest
in the experience- this is particularly true in the online environment.
Commitment, self-discipline and self-motivation are all key qualities to
ensuring success in an online course!
…is comfortable and confident
with written communication
Reading and writing are the
basis of most online courses, so it’s critical that you feel comfortable with
this form of communication. While some courses contain modules that include
videos or other activities, all of them require significant amounts of reading.
And nearly all of your communication with your classmates and you and your instructor
will be in writing. If these are weak areas for you, you will want to address those
issues prior to enrolling or while enrolled in an online course. The PSU Writing Center is available to assist you.
…is willing to be a member
of a learning community.
