What qualities does a successful online learning student have?
Online learning suits some students very well and poses a challenge for others. Even though students may not start a course with all the characteristics of a good online learning student, they can develop the necessary qualities to be successful during the course, including self-directedness, self-discipline, strong organizational skills and taking responsibility for their learning. A key characteristic for successful online learning is persistence; a quality that enables a student to spend time on task, keep on pace and continue with their work even if they have setbacks. A student can expect to read and write extensively in their online learning course.
