Study skills are crucial for online courses both for faculty members and students. Indeed online classes come with some hefty advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, distance learning offers an outstanding opportunity for nontraditional students and anyone who's busy to fit higher education into their schedules. However, these classes require students to be disciplined, and not everyone is up to this task. If you're going to invest the money (as these classes can be expensive) and time (which you probably value quite a bit) into an online course, you need to develop some strong online course study skills.

An engaged student is: challenged, driven, motivated, involved, sharing, participative, active, reflective, enthusiastic, responsible, productive, etc. and the list goes on. So the next question that arises is how can we increase student engagement in an online classroom virtual environment?

Student choice: Give students some choice in discussions, weekly… >>>

The term student-centered learning is a synonym for a wide variety of educational strategies generally known as personalized learning or personalization (among many other possible terms). While educators may define the terms differently from school to school, the fundamental educational objectives will likely be largely consistent. However, there is one important distinction in meaning that can be addressed here. The term student-centered learning most likely arose in response to educational decisions that did not fully consider what students needed to know or what methods would be most effective in facilitating learning for individual students or groups of… >>>

If online learning is going to make a real impact in your organization, you'd better have better
reasons to justify the investment than "well, everyone else is doing
it". Evaluation takes a bit of work, but then nothing was ever achieved
without a little effort. There
are many good reasons for measuring the success of your online learning
program. Although there has been a strong push to get educational technology
into the hands of teachers and students, many obstacles to implementation still
exist. Equipment may not be placed in easily accessible locations. Hardware and
software often pose problems for teachers… >>>
