Online Course Checklist: What to Know Before You Begin

Stay organized in an online course by tracking modules, deadlines, materials, participation and completed work.

Before You Start

Online courses are easy to postpone because the classroom is not physically in front of you. Confirm access and deadlines, understand how the course is organized, and set aside regular study time before the workload starts to pile up.

Important Tips

  • Download or bookmark only the materials you are permitted to retain.
  • Do not assume a module is complete until its required activities are finished.
  • Schedule course time like a real appointment to reduce last-minute work.
