Online Students
Through the years that I have taught online reading courses, I have found that a certain type of student is successful in an online course. The student must be self-motivated to work on materials weekly and respond on the discussion board. The student needs to communicate with peers online, conduct readings and research online and use classroom observations and CD-ROM viewing as a basis for reflection and written contributions.
Students who procrastinate, need face to face explanations and spend minimal time reflecting and responding on the computer are better served in a traditional weekly face to face campus course.
