In review, the ability to be independent and self-directed in your learning while effectively managing time is key to success in online learning. Here are 3 recommendations for success in online/hybrid learning at GVSU:
1 - SELF-DIRECTED and SELF-MOTIVATION
Are you self-directed and motivated to succeed?
To be successful, you will need to be self-directed and have self-motivation to regularly login to the course, monitor deadlines, and complete your course work regularly.
2 - TIME MANAGEMENT
Have you planned enough time?
You should expect to spend a minimum 3 hours additional for each hour of class time. Therefore, in a 3-credit hour course, you should expect to spend at least 9 hours per week to complete the readings, assignments and participate in class discussion.
3 - SPACE TO STUDY
Do you have a quiet place to study?
Create a quiet study space for yourself to read course materials, work on class assignments, and engage in the class dialogue. During this time, you should log-on to your course site to read course content, complete a learning activity, participate in class discussions, or submit an assessment.
