Before this class, I never really took the chance to find my “Inner Online Learner”. I was always the traditional classroom type of student. I had always been told that taking online classes were not as valuable as actually being in the classroom and that they would be a waste of my time. Honestly…I did not know what to think. Now I have had the opportunity to take a few classes online, I have learned just how valuable they can be. So far, I have learned a lot about myself and have learned skills that I can take with me and apply to other parts of my life. I have found that my “Inner Online Learner” is very visual oriented and hands on. Unlike my classroom counterpart, my “Inner Online Learner” takes initiative and stays on top of things. He likes the challenge of learning new material and researching to find out more. While exploring this new territory, I have also found how hard online learning can be as well. Depending on the type of learner you are and the amount of time you are willing to put into it, things can get a little hairy and overbearing. The biggest struggle that I have had and have seen other people have with online learning is procrastinating. It is a lot easier to just say “I’ll do it tomorrow”…or…”It isn’t that hard so I can do it later in the week”. It doesn’t take much and time will catch up on you (it’s not fun when you are up all night trying to make the deadline). This class has really helped me to stay on top of that and put things into a better time frame. I have really enjoyed this class and the things that I have learned in the first two weeks. As of right now, the only surprise that I have had is the amount of valuable information that I have gotten from this class. To be completely honest…I thought a lot of the stuff we would be going over in this class is stuff that I had already learned or that was common sense…but I was wrong. I have learned more about myself in two weeks than I have in my whole college career. All in all, it has been a wonderful experience and I look forward to the upcoming weeks.
