Student Success Online

For many of us, e-learning takes place amidst busy work schedules, family priorities, and other challenges. ECC's faculty and staff have worked hard to develop a wide selection of online courses to allow you the ability to learn and progress toward your degree or certificate at a distance.

Strategies to thrive in your online classes.

• Successful online students become experts at defining their priorities and building (and keeping) a schedule that allows them to focus on the things that are most important to them. 
• Spending a little time upfront getting and staying organized in your online classes will save you time throughout the semester and help keep your stress levels low.
• Think of the discussion board of an online class like the heart of the classroom. 
• Practicing good “Netiquette” means adhering to certain online behaviors to know about and practice.
• Success in college (and, honestly, success in life) is primarily based on how consistently we follow through on goals and aspirations we set for ourselves.
• Cultivate curiosity in all that you do for school, and watch as that curiosity "pulls" you through the difficult moments.
