1.Scheduling - An average 3-hour college credit course needs about 10-12 hours of work devoted to it during a week
. Even if the course is on the Web, don't expect that amount to drop. Actually, with online classes you'll need to complete the required reading for the week, group work and any projects, and also take part in online class discussions. All of these take a great amount of time. You shouldn't assume to cut the amount of time devoted to your learning as the delivery of the classes has moved from a classroom and to a virtual "setting."
2.Posting in Discussion Online Threads for the Class - Some online professors will set up the discussion forums. These can be posted at any time. Prior to making a post, remember it's the equivalent of speaking in a typical classroom college course. You should read the whole thread so you can add something new to this. Before writing your post, you need to verify the accuracy of the info you provide to the discussion. Actually, in an online class setting always make sure to stick to the posting rules and regulations the instructor or professor has provided.
3.Starting Out - When starting your online classes, your instructor will often make a section on that you can post info about yourself. You must be sure to do so to introduce yourself to your class. You should include everything you do for your work and any background that you have in a course's subject. It will help other students learn you and provide the instructor a thought about the knowledge level of every student. Also, you need to be honest in the introduction; don't use it as a chance to overstate your background.
4.Feeling Involved - The major online learning challenge is feeling involved as a part of the class. It depends on the student to be involved in the class. It will better the value the online classes can give to you. Participate in every discussion thread regularly.
