The whole online experience has opened up the world for everyone. For people seeking to further their education, for whatever purpose, computers bring learning right into the home through self-paced courses and lecture downloads and, most recently, live pod casts from college classrooms across the country. Today's possibilities are endless for anyone wanting to take self learning courses without having to change out of their pajamas to do it.
Instructions
1. Determine if you want to study online or on location. Some people do very well taking classes via the computer because they are organized and self motivated. Others need the in-person contact and structure of the traditional teacher/students setting to stay motivated. There are free tests you can take online that will help you decide which is best for you.
2. Decide what you want to learn. If it's something fairly generic, such as poetry, you'll have no trouble finding fun, self-directed tutorials and discussion forums.
3. Think about what you want to do with what you learn. You may take a history class online and enjoy it so much you decide you'd like to acquire an advanced degree in the subject. There are plenty of legitimate online sources to acquire a bachelor's degree without leaving home.
4. Ask yourself how much you want to pay to learn. Depending on the kind of class you take and the purpose for taking it, you may only be interested in free courses. If you need a particular course for work advancement possibilities, you may want to find a reasonably-priced, more involved course.
5. Check with your employer as they may reimburse you for tuition if you take online courses related to your job. If so, they may require you to provide them with documentation of the source and proof of your completion. If given a grade, you'll need to maintain at least a C average.
