Читать книгу Online Learning For Dummies - Susan Manning - Страница 46

One surprise that online learners report has to do with not being able to loaf or fade into the background in an online course. Face it: In a traditional course, you could go to class, sit in the back of the room, and never utter a word. The teacher may or may not know you’re present. In an online course, that’s not likely. Chances are good that an instructor is tracking your logins and the quality and quantity of your discussion postings. If you don’t log in for a time, many instructors will come looking for you. You’ll receive an email or possibly a phone call asking about your inactivity.

Establish a regular schedule for logging in and working on the course. We recommend three to four times a week. That way, your instructor won’t have to look for you.
