Are You Ready To Learn Web Design Online?
Online learning is a convenient, interactive, hands-on, and fun way
to learn.
My experience shows that there are certain attributes a student should
have in order to be successful learning online.
As you'll see, what's needed is not much different than if you were
learning in a classroom.
These attributes are...
- Motivation
No one's going to be there to remind you to read your
Chapters, do your Labs, and work on your Project. Sometimes, if
I don't hear from you in a while, I'll send a "Just Checking
In" email to find out why you're not moving forward with the
workshop.
I'm not your Mother. You need to show up and do the
work. Just as you would if you had to go to class every week. There's
no difference.
- Willingness To Follow Instructions
It's best to do as I say especially in the early Lessons
or if you're new to making web pages. Freelancing or going "off
the reservation" and doing your own thing, is not your fastest
path to becoming a Jedi Webmaster. There'll be plenty of time to
do it your way but first you must, as Yoda might say, "Learn
and follow me." (He talks backwards.)
- A Sense Of Curiosity
You don't have to say or ask anything
in the email exchanges we'll have in the Workshop. But that's not
the best way to learn. Don't be shy. Talk to me. Ask questions.
You'll learn so much more that way - and so will I!!
