Successful Online Learner
Below are some tips to be a successful online learner:
- Pay attention to the physical learning environment - try to arrange everything ergonomically in your learning space.
- Pay close attention to the due dates of assignments.
- Plan ahead and plan well. Do not put off assignments until the last minute because there is a chance that Canvas or ELMS might be down when you need it the most!
- Check your e-mail regularly, but be patient while waiting for responses.
- Always check the file size when you try to upload a file to share. The bigger the file size, the more 
difficult it may be to upload and download.
- Communicate with your instructor and/or classmates by email, discussion forums, or phone.
- Use courtesy in online communication and deal with conflict with respect.
- Talk to your instructor if you encounter any problems.
- Participation is important to your learning experience in an online learning environment, so be confident in making contributions.
- Be aware that there are resources to help you: your instructor, ITS, or a librarian.
