Are You Ready to Begin Your Education.Online Course?
Before you begin our Student Orientation, we would like you to complete the readiness checklist below. We have developed this checklist for assessing your readiness to take an onlinecourse. In order for you to have the most trouble-free Education Online experience possible, we ask that you please take this opportunity to assess your readiness for beginning your Education Online program.
[Education.Online Readiness Checklist]
The Education Online readiness checklist is composed of 3 levels, access readiness, technology readiness, and course readiness with simple self-checkpoints. Please proceed through the checklist, beginning with level 1. This will help you identify what you need to know and where to begin among the 11 orientation sections . Complete all tasks in the sections of the Student Orientation and make sure you feel comfortable with each section before moving on.
