While greater control of the learning experience may be an advantage for students in online classes, these classes also often require that students take greater responsibility for their learning. Participation in an online class usually means that the student has to take a more active role in the learning process. If students decide not to develop a specific routine for each online class, then requirements of the asynchronous online class may get lost in other time needs, including work schedules. Waiting until 2 or 3 a.m. to do the online assignment because of other time commitments usually is not the best approach. Online classes are tools in the education process, but students need to evaluate before they enroll in online courses their willingness to take more responsibility for the learning process and the skills needed to take that responsibility.
