Today’s post is very useful for the beginners who want to go for online education. In this post I have explained a little about the components and qualities of an online student. I hope you will find it useful as usual.
Online course are based around the school's learning management system, which is the software system for the e-learning program. These learning management systems have a tutorial which guides you on how to use the web course and can help a novice person. Students need to know how to get into their school email account and check it daily. Students also need to know the typical Microsoft Office products, such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
Online courses also have announcement boards and course syllabi, which students should check frequently to stay current on assignments. Courses have a discussion board wherein students post responses, questions and replies to other postings. In online discussion board postings, be sure to follow "netiquette" or "Internet etiquette." Be respectful of other people's opinions, ethnicity and gender.
Additionally, there is a grade book in the web course system, as well as a chat area where students can interact with each other for group projects or chat with the instructor. The instructor can also hold live chat sessions with the entire class.
Online courses often have quizzes based on the readings and discussions. The quizzes demonstrate a balanced approach between the acquisition of knowledge and the use of problem-solving skills. Then, there are mid-terms and final exams, which students complete online within a certain time frame.
Online courses are more labor intensive than a face-to-face class because it takes longer to type something and edit it, than to say something in a classroom. Also everyone is required to post and respond, with grades attached to these discussions.
Online courses are more time-consuming than face-to-face courses. Be prepared to do a lot of reading and writing. Some discussion posts are extensive and require sourcing.
The material learned in these online courses can also be applied in daily life. The online course becomes a living thing. Most of the students are working in the field and are often times doing things that are applicable in real life.
Time management skills are required to do well in an online course. A person who is adorned with this quality can achieve goal in less time than others. The busy students can take advantage of online course if they keep in view this important fact about time.
For someone to do to an online class, they must be very self-disciplined. Online students have to schedule the course into their daily life. Anything in life worth doing is worth doing well, and anything worth doing is worth scheduling.
Sometimes what students learn from the course goes beyond the subject matter. You should learn how to discipline yourself, develop problem-solving skills, and learn how to schedule and prioritize your time.
