While online college used to seem like a fringe (and sometimes shady) market, many not-for-profit, mainstream institutions have joined in and raised the standard to create excellent opportunities for all. Developments in these online courses allow students to get a high-quality education while also balancing work and family obligations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/abound.college\/finishcollege\/advice\/whats-your-education-style-lets-decode-the-terms\/\"><b><i>Format<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As with any part of college, there are unique challenges and opportunities with this new form of education. First of all, what does an online class even look like? You might be expecting to complete your work on your own time and in your pj\u2019s. The opportunity to do so is certainly one of the biggest perks of online learning, but not every online course is like that. Online courses fall into one of two categories: <\/span><b>asynchronous<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> or <\/span><b>synchronous<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Asynchronous:<\/span><\/i> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Asynchronous courses do not follow a set schedule, so they allow students to complete the coursework at their own pace. Usually, professors pre-record lectures or assign readings with subsequent assignments. Students with unconventional schedules or family and work obligations may benefit from self-paced learning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Synchronous:<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Synchronous online learning refers to virtual lectures and discussion boards that require participation at determined times. These courses follow a similar structure to an on-campus course, so there is less flexibility in the times at which you study. However, these courses can be beneficial for those who struggle with time management or crave a more collaborative learning environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/abound.college\/finishcollege\/advice\/seven-things-online-course\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-45864 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/abound.college\/finishcollege\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/7-Things-You-Should-Know-Before-Taking-an-Online-Course-1.png\" alt=\"7 Things You Should Know Before Taking an Online Course\" width=\"2480\" height=\"520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/abound.college\/finishcollege\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/7-Things-You-Should-Know-Before-Taking-an-Online-Course-1.png 2480w, https:\/\/abound.college\/finishcollege\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/7-Things-You-Should-Know-Before-Taking-an-Online-Course-1-300x63.png 300w, https:\/\/abound.college\/finishcollege\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/7-Things-You-Should-Know-Before-Taking-an-Online-Course-1-1024x215.png 1024w, https:\/\/abound.college\/finishcollege\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/7-Things-You-Should-Know-Before-Taking-an-Online-Course-1-768x161.png 768w, https:\/\/abound.college\/finishcollege\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/7-Things-You-Should-Know-Before-Taking-an-Online-Course-1-1536x322.png 1536w, https:\/\/abound.college\/finishcollege\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/7-Things-You-Should-Know-Before-Taking-an-Online-Course-1-2048x429.png 2048w, https:\/\/abound.college\/finishcollege\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/7-Things-You-Should-Know-Before-Taking-an-Online-Course-1-610x128.png 610w, https:\/\/abound.college\/finishcollege\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/7-Things-You-Should-Know-Before-Taking-an-Online-Course-1-720x151.png 720w, https:\/\/abound.college\/finishcollege\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/7-Things-You-Should-Know-Before-Taking-an-Online-Course-1-360x75.png 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2480px) 100vw, 2480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><b><i>Types of Assignments<\/i><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Every program will have its own standard class format, but online courses tend to include some combination of the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Discussion boards:<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> If you thought an online course meant you wouldn\u2019t be engaging in thoughtful discourse with your peers, think again! Discussion boards are the online version of a Socratic seminar. Typically, your professor will moderate a discussion about a text or topic, and then you and your peers will be expected to respond in an online forum. Even in an asynchronous course, you might be expected to complete a discussion post by a certain time.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Research papers: <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many online courses will have at least one written assignment.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Group projects: <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes, you read that right! Group projects are becoming increasingly popular and accessible in online courses. You might be required to connect and coordinate with a group of classmates to complete a project.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Proctored exams:<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> As a distance learner, you\u2019ll take exams a little differently to ensure academic integrity. You\u2019ll be directed to a testing center that will administer the exam.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b><i>Challenges<\/i><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/abound.college\/finishcollege\/advice\/5-tips-online-professor\/\"><b>biggest misconception<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is that online courses are easier than traditional on campus courses. In reality, online courses often cover the same material and are even taught by the same professors as on campus courses. This may actually be more challenging, since you can\u2019t raise a hand if you don\u2019t understand something or have an immediate question.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The key to being successful in an online course is making sure you have <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/abound.college\/finishcollege\/advice\/12-helpful-campus-resources-wes-creel\/\"><b>appropriate support<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0 Make sure you know what kind you need and where to get it. Establish your support networks before you encounter trouble.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b><i>Academic support:<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> As we mentioned earlier, the nature of online classes makes it more difficult to interact with your professor if you\u2019re struggling with the material. Each professor will have different protocol, so find out early how to ask for help. Whether it\u2019s sending an email, going into office hours, or organizing a Skype session, you\u2019ll need to make sure how to find the path to success.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b><i>Logistical support:<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> As you might expect, the bulk of your learning and assignments are done online, which means your tech must be running smoothly at all times. Most professors won\u2019t accept computer issues as a valid excuse for not turning in an assignment on time. Connect with the IT department at your institution to establish a support system you can lean on in the event of technical difficulties.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li><b><i>Non-Academic Support: <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you\u2019re taking courses online, that probably means that you have other responsibilities apart from school. Have a conversation with all the important people in your life to know that your finances, childcare, and other responsibilities are able to be taken care of during this busy time of your life.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b><i>Time Management<\/i><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the greatest advantages of online learning is the increased flexibility and freedom it can afford you. That said, you\u2019ll need to have <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/abound.college\/finishcollege\/advice\/7-tips-to-help-you-balance-school-and-work\/\">strong time management skills<\/a><\/strong> to be successful. If you are taking classes asynchronously, then there will be less moderation over your time by a professor. You\u2019ll be expected to meet deadlines without issue, so don\u2019t fall into the trap of procrastination!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As an adult student, you have unique needs that colleges are continuously trying to meet. Online courses are a great way to balance work and life obligations while advancing your career. Though college is going to be challenging no matter where or how you study, there are many excellent schools that streamline non-traditional forms of education with a design to ensure success.
