• Do you enjoy using the computer? If you hate the thought of sitting in front of a computer, or find them more frustrating than fun, an online course may not be the best option for you. However, if you already use the computer often and find it to be a great convenience, you’d likely be very happy with an online course.
• Does your computer meet the system requirements? If you’re considering an online course, make sure that your computer is up to the task. Although some online courses do not have to be downloaded, others do, and can be quite particular about the requirements that they need to run properly.
• Can you learn well without the physical presence of others? As great as the Internet is, it can’t always offer the same satisfaction that comes from interacting with others on a face-to-face basis. Make sure that you’re comfortable with the possibility of learning things in a relatively solitary way, and that you’re self-motivated enough to get any assignments done on time.

Once you have thought about the above questions, you should have a good idea of whether online learning is a good fit for you. Happy learning!
