Self-Assessment
The simple truth is that it takes a special student to be successful in a fully online learning environment. Our experience tells us that students who are well matched to independent and self-paced learning find great success in virtual classrooms. Those that need a more "hands-on" approach, might think twice before transitioning into the world of virtual learning.
We encourage all students to visit one (or more) of the following free websites and make a serious self-assessments of your learning style, prior to signing up for any online course. The tools found on the linked websites are designed to assist students in determining if the virtual learning environment is right for them.
