Online Learning (OLL) is very satisfactory for many, but not all, learners.

• Actually experiencing some web-based courses is really the only way to be certain about whether OLL is for you.

• Assessments can be useful predictors of your OLL readiness - strengths and weaknesses.

Do you understand what it takes to be successful in online learning courses, and are you prepared?  

• There are no "right" answers, but your responses will indicate your readiness and level of incentive or motivation. 

• If these surveys indicate you are not quite ready, determine whether you want to take the necessary steps, or make the required adjustments, to be ready, before you jump in.

• AVC online courses are generally also offered on-campus.
