A good
voyager carries a map and an effective online learner does
the same. The difference is that as an online learner, you
must create your own map - a map that clearly
lays out your goals and projected outcomes. As with any
project worth undertaking, it is important to know 'why'
you are doing it.
It is
not hard to imagine how an online learner might temporarily
'lose their way' and need to consult their map to stay focused
and engaged. Technology can fail and life certainly can
throw curve balls. Having your map will help motivate you
(and perhaps your teammates too) to get back on track quickly
because the reason for and benefits of your journey will
be clearly laid out in front of you.
Think
about the following questions and then create
your own map.
