Learning Vs. Learning In An Online Classroom

The primary difference between learning in a traditional class versus learning in an online setting is that traditional learning you are sitting in front of the professor with other classmates and can get immediate help when needed. If you are online you have to wait until the professor is online and is available, so the communication feedback would be slower. In an online learning the student is complete control of their learning. If the student wants to work ahead they can, they do not have to wait until the professor or facilitator to give them their assignment.

I think it is very important for everyone to be able to multitask. A person should be able to do two or more things at the same time and do so effectively. An example of multitasking for me is cooking, cleaning, and paying attention to my son. Now that I am in school I have to be able to squeeze some time into my schedule for my assignments. I can become overwhelming, but it has to be done. Another thing I that would help me is that I am not afraid to ask for help when I need it.

Sometimes very important objects needs to have its own time and place to get them done correctly the first time, so that nothing gets overlooked and have redo the work. I really cannot give a sincere yes or now. An individual have to know what things that can and cannot multitask with. It is all in knowing yourself and how you work with different projects. It is also a learning process that you have to get use to to learn what you can and cannot do when
