Distance Learning - Web Education

Are You Ready To Learn Online?

You are ready to take an online or hybrid class if you feel comfortable with the following best practices:

  • I usually read directions very carefully.
  • I can open files on my computer, save in different formats (like .rtf), use more than one program at a time, and copy and paste.
  • I manage my time effectively and always meet deadlines without having to be reminded.
  • I can read class material and apply the concepts based on that reading.
  • I don’t wait until the last minute and complete an assignment
  • I can send, reply, forward and receive email messages. I can send attachments and open attachments.
  • I know how to keep my e-mail account from blocking e-mails from my instructors and fellow students.
  • I have a computer at home with high speed Internet access or I am willing to use campus computers in the LLRC if needed.
  • I'm not afraid to experiment to solve technical difficulties on my computer.
  • I have successfully downloaded software many times before.
  • I can type, use the spell and grammar check, format documents, save documents in different formats, cut, copy and paste, change fonts, and undo mistakes.
  • I will allot specific study time to my online or hybrid class.
  • I use the Web to do research and surf.
  • I am willing to figure things out on my own, but am also comfortable asking an instructor for help as soon as I need it.
