Overview

This pre-requisite course for first time "cyber" students is designed to introduce and orient you to the wonderful world of online learning.  It has been designed to provide appropriate experiences, activities, and competencies that prepare you to be a successful online learner.

There are significant differences between traditional face-to-face (f2f) classes and online classes.   While some online classes are offered as “add-ons” or “supplements” to traditional f2f classes, others, like this one, are offered entirely online. 

The online learning environment is best suited for 

• self-directed individuals with
• basic computer/internet literacy and 
• proficient expository writing skills.  

It provides opportunities for a rich shared learning experience with

• reflective dialogue,
• equitable participation, and
• deep learning.

This course will provide you with an introduction to the basics of the online learning environment, and insure that you get the most out of Online Courses.

This course is designed to prepare you, the student, for the experiences involved in online education. Many Professional and Trade Organizations, colleges and universities are offering courses, certificates, and even entire degree programs using the World Wide Web as a vehicle for course delivery. 

Executive Performance's Learning Division develops and/or delivers customized online training courses and workshops to any global location, in every industry and discipline, directly to our client's workstations and laptops. 

This medium requires a different set of skills, some of which you may already possess. This site will provide an overview of these skills as well as some of the aspects you need to considerations before enrolling as an online student.
