UNO offers several different types of online courses. It's important to know what you are signing up for, what the expectations of that type of course are, and how the course will be run.

SETTING YOURSELF UP FOR ONLINE SUCCESS

Knowing how to access your courses and support is one thing, but setting yourself up for success in online courses is another. Just like with on-campus courses, online courses create a community made up of the other members of the course. That community can include other learners, instructors, teaching assistants, and, of course, you! Engaging with that community meaningfully and respectfully is vital to making the most of your online courses here at UNO. Here are some tips and thoughts to help you.
