Necessary Technology Skills
As an online student you will have a much different “classroom” experience than a traditional student. In order to make sure that you are fully prepared for your online courses, we have provided a list of expectations and requirements below.
Students in an on-line program should be comfortable with and should posses the following skill sets:
- Self-discipline
- Problem solving skills
- Critical thinking skills
- Enjoy communication in the written word
As part of your online experience, you can expect to utilize a variety of technology
mediums as part of your curriculum:
- Communicate via email including sending attachments
- Navigate the World Wide Web using an web browser such as Internet Explorer
- Use office applications such as Microsoft Office (or similar) to create documents
- Be willing to learn how to communicate using a discussion board and upload assignments to a classroom web site
We encourage our students to discover their level of confidence and success with the above
requirements by taking the self-assessment survey. This survey is not part of the admissions process, but serves as a tool to help you assess your skill level with potential technology that will be experienced in your learning environment.
