Learning Resources for Distance Learning Students
在线课程提供了参加课程的便利性和灵活性，没有正式的时间表或地点. However, online courses require a unique set of skills. Before you enroll, you should feel confident that your study habits, time management, computer skills, and independent motivation match what’s required in the online learning environment.
If you are new to online courses, PAC recommends that you enroll in the *free* Orientation to Online Learning, OLRN or “O-Learn,” mini-course. OLRN is free and takes about 2-hours to complete. It prepares you to be a more successful online student. Your advisor can assist with OLRN registration.
Some online instructors at PAC may require OLRN; this information is available in the course catalogue.
