How to Be a Successful Online Student Chances are, at some point in your education you'll take at least one online course. Some students take to online learning quite naturally. They tend to be self-directed, independent, organized, disciplined – and busy. Some find online courses harder than they expected. Many are surprised at how intense the experience can be. "A paradox of online learning," Sara Dulaney Gilbert says, "is that as far away and isolating as it seems, it can actually be much more personal than face-to-face learning…" How can you succeed in this environment? Gilbert has put together a comprehensive guide for online student success. Gathering insights from online students and teachers, she tells you what to expect. The book covers the subject from every aspect, taking it step by step: from getting your assignments, dealing with chats, getting tech support, collaborating on class projects, to taking tests. You'll also get advice on how to pick the best program for you, including the questions you need to ask. And you'll get tips on managing your time to make it work. Whether you're considering just one course, a full degree or professional continuing education courses, you'll get a sense from this book of what it takes to study successfully online.
