Know Thyself: Self-Discovery for the Online Learner

      As an online student, it is important that you have a clear understanding of your strengths and weaknesses to best determine how you can become successful. Self-discovery learning refers to learners who set up their own learning goals and decide their own learning paths. These students set their own schedules, follow through on their learning commitments, assess their progress, and encourage themselves even in the face of learning difficulties. Online students engage in problem-based learning by seeking out information or learning opportunities themselves.

      Online students may take online assessments to determine their learning styles to aid in their self-discovery learning. Self-discovery learning may enhance learning through deeper research. Given a certain topic an online student has a wealth of information including videos, music, and other digital media.
