Learning Success

Successful learners set goals, develop strategies to achieve those goals and revise strategies when they're not working. Learning online requires you to develop some different strategies in order to keep organized and save time.

To begin with, consider the practical, instrumental aspects of learning outside of the traditional classroom. This means taking care of details, like making sure you have reliable internet service and sufficient online time, setting yourself up with CWL and library access (UBC Card), contacting your instructor early (Contacting Instructors mp3 - 142kb), familiarizing yourself with the course requirements, assignment due dates and examination processes as well as any policies with regard to the administration of the course that you should be aware of. In addition to your course outline (or course syllabus), which you should find on the course website, there are a couple of resources to assist you with this.
