What You Should Know About Online Learning

eLearning > What You Should Know About Online Learning

Online work is just as important as work that is done in-class.
Online assignments that are important learning activities. They contribute to your overall mark. Most importantly, they are a means of learning and reviewing course content.

It is important to set aside enough time to complete online work.
Since you access to assignments anytime with Blackboard, it is tempting to put off working on them. However, time will slip away from you if you don't plan time for completing assignments.

Log in to Blackboard and check your email regularly.
Teachers will communicate with you through Blackboard (Announcements) and through email.

When completing online tests through Blackboard, make sure to follow the instructions carefully. Teachers will set different options for their tests. Sometimes, you can take the test over and over. Other times, you are only able to take the test once.
