Six Online Distance Learning Success Steps
In an earlier posting I laid out a five point plan on how to determine what your next steps should be once you thought going back to school in your future. Below I have outlined six steps to being successful once you start. Are you nervous to try online education? I myself was very skeptical of taking online versus the traditional classroom setting. I felt I was not disciplined enough to take responsibility for my studies without procrastinating until the very last minute on assignments and test. It was not until a friend of mine started taking classes online and logged in and showed me how to navigate the course (Liberty University uses Blackboard technology). Once I saw how simple the technology was to use and how the students and faculty interacted it took the fear out of trying this. I was in my early 30’s when I decided to attempt my MBA online. I felt I was very computer literate, but I still was nervous until the above encounter showed me I could do it. I can imagine for older students the fear of the technology is even greater.
