Preparing for Challenges
Learners taking online courses usually have busy schedules. Some may work full-time and take online courses in their spare time. Others find procrastination unavoidable. As a result, many end up completing their work at the last minute and panic when the assignment information is not plainly stated or explained. Occasionally technology challenges occur, preventing them from successfully completing their tasks. Recognizing these challenges can help faculty prepare effective solutions prior to the onset of challenges.
