Is Online/Virtual Learning Right for Me?

Taking a class completely online or even in a hybrid/blended format is not for everyone. It is an attractive option for flexibility. However, some students really do learn better with the ability to meet with their instructor face-to-face. In an online class, you will very likely never meet your instructor in person; however, you can set up an appointment to do so if you are close to one of our campus locations. Hybrid students will meet with their instructors typically one or more times per week, but they are still responsible for part of the learning online.

So, what are some characteristics of a good online student? Below are a few attributes.

As you look through this list, determine how many of these attributes apply to you.  If most of them do, you have the potential for online success.  If not, you might want to consider taking your classes on campus in a face-to-face environment.
