Online learning
With the progress and development of science and technology, a lot of careers also have extremely changed. For education, also, traditional face to face learning methods, online teaching is becoming more and more popular, especially in college. There are some unique features of online learning than face to face teaching. Firstly, students do not need to use lots of time to commute between home and school. Secondly, Online learning will not be interrupted by any weather or traffic reasons Students can take an online course anywhere and anytime, only if they are accessible to a stable internet connection. It is much more convenient for students to learn knowledge. In Illinois online article mentions “Taking an online course also means that you don’t have to commute to class, which means less time spent on the bus and more study time sitting on your couch, the sound of a crackling fireplace in the background. You no longer have to worry about driving in the snowstorm and missing an important class!”
Even this is not my first time to take online study, I did not encounter some technological challenge experiences indeed. But I am more easily distracted by using a laptop to study. When I watch online lectures to study, I always text on Facebook and browse some shopping websites instead of focusing on an online video message. This is a common online study problem, which is related to most of the students in college. There is an article related to this question, which states that “Researchers have found, unsurprisingly, that students in online courses are often multitasking with non-academic matters – that refers to time spent on Facebook, browsing on Asos and scrolling Twitter timelines – more than their peers in physical classrooms. Sampling nearly 300 Kent State students enrolled in both online and on-campus courses, Andrew Lepp and his team found that students are 25 percent more likely to multitask in non-academic work when enrolled in online courses compared to their peers in face-to-face courses.”
I usually use the OSU online libraries website and walk-in tech hub finding some supports. Sometimes, I may use some learning resources in the Writing Center Online service.

Our English professor is very appreciated us to find support from the writing centre.

To succeed in this program, I think the main elements are effort and self-discipline. I need to be responsible for myself and my assignment. I need to watch every online lecture with self- discipline. Immediate discussing with peers or TA is also important to ensure success on course.
