Many, but not all, students are successful when they take distance learning, correspondence, online and external studies programs.  Students who are successful in distance learning and online courses tend to have the following characteristics:

• Self-starters - nobody needs to get them out of bed in the morning; they just get up and go to work.

• Independent workers - do not need to have a supervisor tell them what to do each step of the way at work or a teacher standing beside them guiding them through every class.

• Problem-solvers - good at working their way through problems without a lot of face-to-face assistance.

• Good computer knowledge and skills.

• Willing to ask for assistance and seek out help.

Students taking many distance learning and online courses are not left alone to fend for themselves.  Support from teachers and instructors is often only a phone call or an email away.
