Introduction

Welcome to the Wonderful (but Sometimes Frustrating) World of Online Learning!

This booklet is a guide on how to succeed in online education. The first section is particularly important for beginning students. Make sure you understand what you’re getting into—online classes are not for everyone. But for many students, online classes provide a convenient, effective way to learn using the latest technologies.

The Online Student Survival Guide is produced by Rio Hondo Virtual College. The Virtual College’s purpose is to help increase the quantity and quality of online courses in Rio Hondo Community College. But the real measure of our success is the number of students who have a successful learning experience online. Hopefully, this booklet will you achieve your goal in learning online!
