为什么在线?

Online courses are by no means easy courses. You will be required to complete course readings and assignments, and be expected to get actively involved in all kinds of learning activities, 就像面对面的课程一样. Most online courses are as demanding (if not more so) as face-to-face courses, and may have some different expectations for students. 例如, you will be asked to spend more time participating in online discussions because online discussions play a crucial role in online learning. You will generally need to communicate your ideas in writing rather than verbally. 除了, you will be responsible for keeping up with the work and completing the learning tasks by specific deadlines.

在线学习的好处

途径和机会: Online learners have new opportunities to enroll in courses that may not be available where they live and which allow them to manage work and family commitments.
灵活性: Online learners can access course materials anytime and 在任何地方.
经济: Online learners can save time and money by avoiding difficult commutes, which will allow them to spend more time learning and less time traveling.
自主学习: Online education focuses on a learner-centered paradigm which can promote and enhance self-directed and self-oriented learning. This helps students develop a goal-oriented mindset and self-paced learning style which can benefit a learner’s career and personal life in the long run.
素质教育: The quality of online courses is just as good as that of traditional classes

在线学习者的共同特征

实现目标的动力: Many online learners decide to pursue further education based upon their personal motivation to advance professionally.
平衡多重承诺: Many online learners are non-traditional students (Myers-Wylie, Mangieri, & 哈代,2009). This includes people with full or part-time jobs, 已婚或单身父母, retirees or the unemployed looking for a new career or professional development.
Awareness of Learning Styles and Preferences: 像所有的学习者一样, online learners have different learning styles, 比如听觉, 视觉, 或动觉(Myers-Wylie等)., 2009). They may have different technology preferences as well. 例如, while some people prefer to read books and articles on a computer screen, some still prefer to read printed material. Some students may benefit from using tools that support these preferences.
不同背景: There are no geographical or time limitations for taking online courses. The cohort of online students is very diverse in age, ethnicity, profession, and language. This may include international students and students with disabilities. Successful online learners embrace this and enjoy being a part of a diverse learning community.
Enjoy Learning Opportunities Relevant to Their Lives and Work: Online learners want to make sure that learning is meaningful to their personal and professional life (Myers-Wylie et al., 2009). 案例研究, 解决问题活动, simulations and other approaches that offer opportunities for students to connect learning to their own lives and work are most rewarding.
