2. Is learning at a distance for me?

While e-learning can offer access and convenience to enrich learning opportunities, you must be prepared to take advantage of that access and convenience. There are some key questions you should ask yourself. These questions address your motivation, your time management skills, your use of technology, and your general study skills. Distance learning is not the best method of learning for everyone. Read the FAQs and talk to one of our Regional Coordinators to see if e-learning is for you.

To help you make this decision, try our free E 4 ME orientation course to distance learning. E 4 ME is a fun and informative online experience designed to introduce you to e-learning. It is intended for someone who is new to e-learning or who hasn't been in a formal learning environment like a classroom, college, university or workshop for quite some time.

E 4 ME is a month-long course and can be completed at your own pace. By the end of E 4 ME, you will be able to:

  • Understand how to be successful in an e-learning course
  • Assess your technical skill level
  • Define how your interests are linked to education choices and career paths
  • Know how to find online courses and degrees that will help you meet your personal and career goals
  • Plan your future steps with e-learning

To find out more about E 4 ME, you can go to the registration Web site at www.e4meohio.org. If you have questions before enrolling, talk to an OLN Regional Coordinator.
