Strategies for Successful Online Learning
A few things to keep in mind as you work through the online course materials:
 * Your Learning Guide is your course companion. Keep it handy as you work through the course. You will frequently be asked to refer to the worksheets and questions in the Guide as you proceed.
 * Check the Discussion Board a few times each week. For each unit of the course you are expected to post one original response to the discussion question and reply to at least two other participants' responses.
 * At the beginning of each unit preview the Learning Guide section for that unit and the article titles (in the Course Content section of the website) for an overview of the unit.
