I stumbled on this website that rates ones readiness to be a successful oline learner. I scored 33 out of 39 which means:
You are a strong candidate for success in an online course!
It adds:
- meets the necessary technical requirements and is comfortable with the equipment
- has the time and resources to dedicate to online course work
- is comfortable with the written word and use of e-mail as a communication form
- is self-disciplined, self-guided and committed
- has the ability to prioritize responsibilities and work independently
- will ask for assistance when needed to build academic and social support systems
- has much to benefit from this delivery method vs. residence programs (Examples: busy lifestyle, geographic
- isolation from campus, parenting requirements or restrictions, physical disability, corporate support to learn at work )
