•每天登录你的课程，
或者每周至少3-5天. 一旦你进入了在线系统, you will be eager to see who has commented on your postings and read the feedback of your instructor and peers. You will also be curious to see who has posted something new that you can comment on. If you let too many days go by without logging on to your course discussion group, you will get behind and find it very difficult to catch up.
•要有礼貌和尊重.
Just because you are anonymous, doesn’t mean you should let yourself go. Remember, you are dealing with real people on the other end. 礼貌和尊重不仅仅是常识, it is absolutely obligatory for a productive and supportive online environment. 在积极的网络环境中, 你会觉得你的教练很重视你, 受同学重视, 你自己的工作也会有更大的价值.
•能够通过写作进行交流.
在虚拟教室里, 几乎所有的交流都是书面的, so it is critical that learners feel comfortable in expressing themselves in writing. Be sure to use the spell check before posting responses.
•如果出现问题，愿意“说出来”.
Many of the non-verbal communication mechanisms that instructors use in determining whether learners are having problems (confusion, 挫折, 无聊, 没有, 等.)在在线模式中是不可能的. If a learner is experiencing difficulty on any level (either with the technology or with the course content), 他/她必须立即传达这一点. Otherwise the instructor will never know what is wrong.
• Be able to meet the minimum requirements for the program.
The requirements for online are no less than that of any other quality educational program. The successful learner will view online as a convenient way to receive their education, 这不是一个简单的方法.
• Accept critical thinking and decision making as part of the learning process.
The learning process requires the learner to make decisions based on facts as well as experience. Assimilating information and executing the right decisions requires critical thought.
• Have access to a computer and connections to the WEB.
For most people the communication medium is a computer, 电话线, and modem; the learner must have access to the necessary hardware and software as described above.
•能够在回答问题之前把想法想清楚.
Meaningful and quality input into the virtual classroom is an essential part of the learning process. Time is given in the process to allow for the careful consideration of responses. The testing and challenging of ideas is encouraged; you will not always be right, 只要准备好接受挑战.
•以开放的心态分享生活, 工作, and educational experiences as part of the learning process.
Introverts as well as extroverts find that online learning requires them to utilize their experiences. This forum for communication eliminates the visual barriers that hinder some individuals in expressing themselves. In addition, the learner is given time to reflect on the information before responding.
•自我激励和自律.
With the freedom and flexibility of the online environment comes responsibility. The online process takes commitment and discipline to keep up with the flow of the process.
