Welcome to day 5 of #OLsuccess week
Today we want to explore what helps you succeed as an online learner, looking at what kinds of support you need or what features of a course or learning experience help you most.
Some questions we will be exploring include:
- What informal support do you have, i.e. people who help you to learn online (friends, family, people at work, other learners…?)
- Does anyone help you with the technical aspects of learning online?
- What academic support do you have for learning online (if you are studying a formal course)?
- What features of your learning environment do you like using most?
- If you had to remove/lose one thing from your online course, what could you do without? or What would you add?
We had a tweet last night from a student that highlighted the importance of support and guidance which we hope will stimulate some discussion today.
@sarahknight @Jisc i think is all very well having so many #learning #methods but needs more #support & #guidance for everyone. #OLsuccess
