Autonomous Learning

Most experts agree that successful online learners need to be self directed, self motivated, and well organized. The type of learners best suited for an online environment:

• like to read.
• learn on their own.
• ask questions.
• seek help on their own.

More students are learning how to excel as online learners because they want the flexibility and convenience an online course offers. They also are often willing to listen to instructor suggestions for study strategies.
