[Video] FAQ: Is online learning right for me?
Most online students are in the exact same position as you.
It’s been a long time since they were in a classroom, completed coursework, wrote a paper… and it can feel intimidating to think about doing any of that again.
But with online programs, it doesn’t have to be!
One of the best things about online learning is that some of the typical classroom pressures and anxieties are not present in an online environment.
Learning online allows to think, work, share knowledge and experiences with professors and peers in a non-judgmental environment that is highly conducive to collaboration.
Blackboard: Courses Designed With You in Mind
Our classes use an internet-based platform called Blackboard, and our team strives to make the course layouts as user friendly and intuitive as possible.
Right within the tool you’ll be able to review course materials like your syllabus and some readings, watch videos and interact with your classmates and instructor through forums, posts and more.
Best of all, since you can complete the work on your own time, whenever it best fits your schedule, the pressure of having to be in a specific place at a set time is alleviated too.
You can take the time you need to learn the tool at your own pace.
The other thing is that the faculty and staff of an online program are prepared to help you through. They know the struggles you’re probably facing, have had a student with the same concerns in the past and understand that there are going to be unique circumstances that may make you hesitant in the class room.
