    What to Consider

    Is online learning right for you? A key consideration is convenience, as jobs, schedules, location, or family commitments can sometimes make it difficult to take a course on campus. While convenience is clearly a benefit in online learning courses, it is only one factor to think about before registering for an online course. Take a look at these other factors to make the best decision for you:

    • Learning-style preferences
    • Motivation for enrolling in online courses
    • Time-management skills
    • Computer and internet skills
    • Access to a computer and related resources
