Keys to Success Taking eLearning Courses
The courses are structured in weekly sessions (one orientation week plus six academic weeks) - each week begins on Wednesday. Each session has assignments for you to complete ... readings, activities, discussion questions. After you finish the reading assignments (days 1 and 2), sit back and reflect on what you’ve read. Complete the activities (days 2 and 3) and spend some more time reflecting on what you already knew and what you may have learned from the readings and activities. On days 3 and 4 contemplate your original post (thread) to the discussion question. On days 4 and 5 post your thread and read those of your classmates. Reply to the one or two that appeal to you. That's how the learning is done. No need to be online at any given time on any given day - but you should spend about 3-4 hours a week reading, doing activities, reflecting, composing, posting, replying. You must complete the weekly assignments in the assigned week – you may, with approval from your facilitator, work ahead or fall behind one week. You must successfully complete 6 of 7 weekly assignments AND complete the course project to receive credit for the course – course projects are due within 30 days of the course end dates (extensions can be granted on a case-by-case basis).
