Important Guidance Tips to Address Student Concerns

Students have a variety of unique issues they face in the online environment. Many are either too intimidated to ask, or are unaware of what to ask instructors about how to be successful. This webinar will address how students and online professors can both benefit from guidance provided in the online classroom.

The following topics will be addressed:

1. Navigation Issues
2. Terminology Issues
3. Academic Honesty
4. Goal Setting
5. Time Management
6. Motivation
7. Increasing Retention
8. Learning Preferences
9. Writing and Formatting Skills
10. Test Preparation Techniques

Although these are common topics addressed in many online courses, many instructors may be inadvertently omitting some important guidelines necessary for their students’ optimal success. In this webinar, the focus will be on providing satisfactory answers to questions students really have,  alleviating their concerns. The end result of learning these techniques will be more successful online students as well as more effective online professors.
