Online Colleges as a Resource for Your New Career


Online Colleges require successful team building

Most online colleges require their students to work together in teams to fulfill their coursework obligations. The University of Phoenix Online, for example, requires weekly participation and discussion questions, 4 to 5 individual assignments, and 3-4 team assignments. Many other online programs have similar requirements. Contrary to a popular myth about going to school online, you won't be working on your education alone and isolated.

Education professionals often group online students by geographical areasTo have a successful experience with your college's online program, use the following tips when working with your team online:

• Assign team responsibilities. Treat your distance learning assignment just like a work assignment. Have a second in command for most projects just in case the person in charge doesn't follow through.

• Educators like to receive papers that have "one voice." Formatting, the outline, even the tone that the paper has should all be worked out before everybody logs off to do their work.

• Work out chat sessions online to help speed through team discussions. Topics in threaded discussion groups online can take a really long time to work their way out since not everybody is online at the same time.

• Plan for the worse online. Set internal deadlines that give you extra time before the assignment is due in case somebody doesn't carry their weight.

Educators will usually group students by their geographical areas to help with time zones. If your educator is new to the online milieu, suggest that you'd like to be grouped together by time zones.
