Is Online for Me?
Imagine you are sitting with your friends and someone starts to talk about an online course he or she is taking.
You think to yourself, "Online at UConn? I didn't even know that I could take online courses here." You continue to think, "I wonder if an online course is something I should try?"
Online courses could be the right choice for you if you can answer yes to the following questions:
- I like using technology.
- I have great time management skills.
- I am flexible.
- I don't need to be in a classroom to take a course.
- I am fine with not seeing my classmates face-to-face and only talking with them online.
