What are the student expectations in an online class?
Basically, students need to self-manage their schedule and time to complete the expected class work, readings, activities and assignments independently as outlined by the instructor. When communicating online the student should use proper netiquette, respect, sensitivity and clarity in all communications. Students should expect to become more self-directed and a more active learner in the online delivery mode of education. Effectiveness in online classes is also highly dependent on computer skill competency.
