We are all different, and learn in different ways . Identifying your specific learning style can help you determine how to best utilize online learning. The interaction and learning style will help you improve your study habits and be successful in an e-learning environment. (Brookfield: Jun 2008. Vol. 45 Iss. 6; pg.9) Ask yourself several questions to evaluate your study habits, such as; Did I make studying my priority, or did I merely fit it in when convenient? Consider your level of dedication. (A.Jarman, May 2009 Vol. 37, Iss. 9 pg 12, 2pgs ) Learn new strategies, such as changing your perspective. This will help you see things through a new window. Having a support team will also be beneficial. Think of people who can accommodate your needs.
