Is Online Learning For Me?

We would still love to speak to you directly to help you make a more informed decision. Please contact a Program Coordinator by calling 501-852-UCAO (8226). Overall, it seems that you may be more successful in a program that meets face-to-face, where you can have more direct support for your learning. You might try an online course when you have gained more experience with computer and have improved your study skills and time management.

If you feel that you have trouble learning new information, are not comfortable with written communications and participation in online discussions, or are not used to solving problems on your own, you may need to reconsider your decision to take an online course, as it usually provides less support from the instructor, than may be necessary for you. An online course also requires at least 10 hours a week, which you may not be ready to spend at this time.

It looks like you might work better when external organization is imposed on you. While this may work just fine in a face-to-face class, an online class requires more independence in setting and following work goals and deadlines. In an online course you will have to pace yourself and figure out things on your own or with sometimes limited assistance from the instructor. In regards to time management, you may want to develop a strategy for keeping yourself on track, such as keeping a written record of your tasks and allocating certain hours to work on each task.

You seem to be fairly well-organized and learn fairly easily. That’s good, but you have to remember that learning from an online course usually requires more time and effort, because you will often have to pace yourself and figure out things on your own or with limited support from the instructor.

If you want to improve your organizational skills, you may consider allocating certain hours to work on each individual task to stay to track, to work on it the first thing each morning, and to keep a written record of your tasks and assignments. These strategies will help you not fall behind in the class. Most online courses consist of written text with some audio and video recordings as well. You will also have to communicate in writing with the instructor and your classmates.

As you have reported that you are fairly good at using the computer and the Internet, you should have no problem interacting with the online course environment. Please visit our Technical Requirements page to be sure that you have all the necessary technical tools and to ensure that your computer meets the online course requirements. Additionally, it always helps to have help from someone who knows computers very well.

You seem to be well-organized. Good organization and time management skills are very important for online learning, as you will have to work independently much of the time. You are prepared to pace yourself, figure out things on your own and communicate with people in writing. You generally seem to realize that taking an online course is more time consuming and requires more study discipline than a face-to-face class.
