Many students choose online classes because they afford the flexibility of scheduling classes around work, family and other personal obligations. Online courses offer the convenience of learning around your own schedule, but along with the higher level of autonomy comes greater responsibility.

Online education is a boon to lifelong learners who wish to acquire knowledge even after their schooling or graduation. It’s a fastest growing form of the education today. The flexibility, lower cost, a variety of choices, etc., are the key features of online education. But there are still arguments going on, whether or not online education is advantageous over traditional face-to-face institutions. There is no unique answer for this argument and it varies depending on the perspective of a student’ situation.

Centre for Learning and Teaching at Manchester Metropolitan University
In May 2006 ‘Guidelines for the Development and Delivery of On-Line Learning’ were produced by the e-Quality Working Group chaired by Bill Johnston from the Faculty of Humanities, Law and Social Science. To complement these it was decided that a set of generic ‘how to study online’ materials should be developed to be made available across the university. Studying online requires adaptation of traditional ways of learning and students may be unaware of the academic protocols expected of them. Students are still required to produce work to the same academic rigour and still require course help and advice as well as assistance with their general readiness for online learning. This has been the subject of a Fellowship in Academic Practice, conducted over the last twelve months.
The ‘how to study online’ materials have been transformed into the ‘Studying online: resources to get you connected’ website. This article aims to introduce this website and the work that will be taking place over the coming year to evaluate and further develop the resource.
