Choosing an online program full of decisions - Eleanor Chute, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
It seems as if almost every school is offering a course, program, certificate or degree online. But how do you know which one is for you? The first step is to think carefully about how you learn best. Do you have the self-discipline to work on your own? Do you like reading, writing, speaking or doing hands-on assignments? Do you like speaking up in class or do you prefer taking time to think before posting an Internet response? Does the program provide the help you need? Community College of Allegheny County offers a 10-question quiz on its Web pages to help students determine their chance of success. The quiz can be found at http://webmail2.uis.edu/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.ccac.edu by clicking on "Distance Learning" and then on "Self Test."
