Learning at
a Distance
Welcome to our online class.
For some of you, this is probably your first distance learning class. Learning at a distance
can be a very different environment for some of you. You will not miss the class just
because you have to be out of town as long as you can access the Internet; you will set your own
schedules, participate in class activities at your convenience, and work at your
own pace. It is a new experience for all of us.
Are you Ready for
Online Learning?
This week's lesson aims to
help you get ready for using online technologies by giving you a
self-appraisal checklist of issues to consider. It also contains a number
of useful strategies and helpful hints that I summarized from the article
I found at the WebCT web site. So, check this out
before you start...
