Are you ready to take an online course?
What does it mean to be ready to take an online course?
Though online classes may seem like less work, they are often more labor intensive than the traditional classroom. Regardless of the topic, online courses require self-direction, organization, academic skills, techincal skills, and more. ITSPD will do its best to support you to become ready for online courses or to make it through with guides and resources!
Why should you make sure you are ready to take an online course?
Students taking online courses often underestimate the time and effort required to succeed. It is important to do a self-assessment to see if you are ready for an online course or need to take any steps to get ready before taking an online course. ITSD is here to help!
