Summary
This text is appropriate for online or hybrid Student Success classes, General Education courses delivered online, and as a supplemental resource across the curriculum to prepare students for effective online learning. This text addresses strategies specific to the hybrid and online learning environment combined with key components from best-sellingKeys to Successto help students be effective across the curriculum. Keys to Online Learning acknowledges though the convenience of online education has enabled greater numbers of studentsrs" access to degree programs (online course enrollment is growing and student demand often exceeds offerings) being successful in this environment requires specific skills and strategies. Every element (the presentation of material, classmate and instructor interaction, assessments and activities) can be fundamentally different for online students. This book combines the hallmarks ofKeys to Success,learning styles and critical thinking, and introduces strategies specific to online learning. Students will learn how to effectively experience the online environment learning process as they decide what, how, and when course materials are accessed. Reading skills are often required for print and onscreen content. Writing is the main form of communication, and students need to be able to do so informally on discussion boards, while also learning formal writing skills required in academic papers. Assignments often require virtual collaboration with other students. Developing these peer relationships requires a different set of skills than those used in face-to-face settings. The nature of online education can make a student more anonymous, so they have to learn to motivate themselves and manage their time wisely.
