How
to Be a Good Distance Learner
Distance
Learning requires students to work independently
without a lot of interaction and prompting
from the instructor. That means it is
your responsibility to process and learn
from the information provided by your
instructor without much direct help from
the instructor.

Good
Learning Skills for Distance Learning
1.
Distance Learning allows for lots of
flexibility. However, it requires a high
level of self discipline, and self motivation
on your part.
2.
Allocating time each week to your course
work, then sticking to that schedule,
will help in your success.
3.
You will need good reading and comprehensive
skills, as these are the main methods
of communication for all courses.
4.
Since you will not be attending regular
campus classes where your instructor
covers the contents of the material,
you will need to do the required reading
and research for your particular class.
5.
Distance Learning requires a great deal
of written communications, submitting
homework, sending e-mail to your Instructor,
posting on discussion boards, or "talking" with
other students in chat rooms.
Note:
TeleClassroom studies are set up with
an Instructor at a different location,
in some cases, from your own.
