Student success in an online or hybrid course is dependent on the individual student’s intrinsic motivation, ability to be a self-regulated learner, and technology skills. Online and hybrid courses require you to take initiative to complete coursework on your own and in groups without the direct supervision of the professor. You will be expected to study and complete assignments independently as well as logging into the Canvas course on a daily basis to participate in online discussions, group work, and synchronous meetings regularly. If you encounter any technical difficulties when trying to access coursework online, you should notify the instructor immediately as well as contact the La Salle University Helpdesk for technical support.” What new challenges/stressors/ obstacles do you think students are facing during the pandemic?Type your answers in the chat, and we will discuss.
