… Takes responsibility for his/her own
learning
Online learning can
be powerful, stimulating, engaging experience for the student who can work and
think independently. However, since most-if not all- of the learning takes
place on your own time, you will not have the kind of direct supervision you
would in a classroom. Online learning therefore requiring a significant
commitment from you. All education comes down to what you’re willing to invest
in the experience—this is particularly true in the online environment.
Commitment, self-discipline and self-motivation are all key qualities to ensuring
success in an online course!

And nearly all of your communications with your classmates and your instructor will be in writing. If these are weak areas for your, you will want to address those issues prior to enrolling or while enrolled in an online course. The PSU Writing Center is available to assist you.
