Is online learning for me?
While studying you can expect to read course materials, participate in online discussions, write essays and communicate with your tutors.
Work around your schedule
To study successfully you will need to be self-motivated and able to set aside significant time each week to study. Most courses require around 10 to 15 hours of study per week. You might choose to study two or three hours most evenings or by dedicating one or two days a week.
