Online learning continues to grow and expand as students, especially adult learners, discover the advantages of a flexible learning environment that suits their busy lives. For students, success in online classes often requires brushing up on dormant academic skills and adopting new approaches to time management. Some students may find that without the right approach and setting some ground rules for themselves that include scheduling study time, the freedom offered by online learning can be overwhelming if not properly managed. For instructors, it is important to remind students of these best practices as often as possible and to create a constant presence in the online classroom.
