Preparing for your First Online Course
Tips for your First Online CourseIf you're nervous about attending your first Online course, don't worry! You're in good company. The Sloan Consortium reports that in 2005, over 800,000 students were added to the ranks of Online students. Get Your Materials ReadyBefore logging into your course, make sure that your computer has the correct software and hardware. In addition to a working printer, speakers, and microphone, you should probably have Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat installed. Also, try to purchase your textbooks ahead of time so that you have them available when class begins. It can take up to 10 days to receive your books, so buy them early. Find Your ClassFollowing your course instructions carefully, log into your classroom and check out the website. Familiarize yourself with the discussion board, assignments page, and email system. You should be sure to find your instructor's email address in case you have any questions. Also, seek out Online help-desk information--most schools provide contacts for Online students' questions and concerns. Make A FriendIt can be helpful to touch base with another classmate as soon as possible. Scope out your classroom's discussion board for someone who looks interesting and shoot her an email. You probably won't regret having a friend to help you through the class. Your first day in an Online course will be much easier if you are well prepared. Just remember to take advantage of the school's Online help resources, and don't be afraid to ask questions! Source:
