Shaona Williams's curator insight, December 11, 2015 8:04 AM

When one considers the many characteristics and skills to get success as an online student, the one that can have the greatest impact on the performance is self-discipline. It may be easy to simplify this term and equate it to getting your work done; however, it’s not only when you get your work done, but also how you get it done. There are rules, procedures, and expectations established by your instructor – but that may not be enough of a motivator to encourage you to do well in class. It is ultimately your ability to stay focused and on track that determines how you perform in class, which can be accomplished if you develop a strong mindset through personal self-discipline.

I Failed My Online Course—But Learned A Lot About Internet Education | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From readwrite.com - March 10, 2014 8:35 AM
Massive open online courses, or "MOOCs," require a lot of motivation—and sometimes, a thick skin.

 

MOOCs, or massive open online courses, are quickly becoming technology darlings. Companies like Coursera, Udacity, edX and others provide college-caliber online courses taught by professors from the most prestigious universities. Millions of students interested in pursuing inexpensive post-secondary education can take classes on anything from nutritional health to machine learning—right from the comfort of their own home.

It’s not just about learning new skills. "Graduates" of these classes can receive paid course certificates or accreditation, which is always great to showcase on LinkedIn. Some organizations, like Udacity, have even partnered with universities to create entirely MOOC-based degrees.
