You may have questions about how ready you are to complete your education courses online.  Take the quiz below to see if online learning is for you:

• I have access to a computer with high speed internet connection.   Yes or No
• I am comfortable installing and troubleshooting software on my computer.  Yes or No
• I am proficient in using search engines and advanced search options.  Yes or No
• I have 9-12 hours per week to dedicate to each of my courses.  Yes or No
• I believe that online (class) discussions and interactions are as beneficial to my learning experience as in-person communication.  Yes or No
• I am able to meet deadlines and manage my time.  Yes or No
• I enjoy peer review, giving and receiving feedback from other students in my classes.  Yes or No
• I am comfortable communicating primarily via email, discussion boards, and other forms of writing.  Yes or No

If you responded “Yes” to all/most of these questions, then online learning might be right for you.
