Keys to Successful Online Learning
While regular schools still exist,the virtual
classroom plays an important role in today's
learning community,<T> Job opportunities for
students are expanding rapidly and more people
of all ages are becoming aware of online learning
that allows them to study at home,Online
students,however,require unique qualities to be
successful,The following list discusses some
ideal qualities of successful online students,
1,Be open-minded about sharing life,work,and
learning experiences as part of online learning,
Many different people find that the online method
requires them to use their experiences and that
online learning offers them a place to
communicate with each other,This forum for
communication removes the visual barriers that
hinder some students from expressing
themselves,In addition,students are given time
to reflect on the information before replying,In
this way,students can help to keep the online
environment open and friendly,
2,Be able to communicate through writing,
In the virtual classroom nearly all communication
is written,so it is critical that students feel
comfortable expressing themselves in writing,
Some students have limited writing abilities
which need to be improved before or as part of
the online experience,This usually requires extra
commitment by these students,Whether working
alone or in a group,students share ideas,
perspectives and discussions on the subject
being studied,and read about those of their
classmates,In this way,students gain great
insight from their peers,learning from each other
as well as the instructor,
3,Be willing to "speak up" if problems arise,
Remember that instructors cannot see their
students in an online course,This means
students must be absolutely explicit with
their comments and requests,If they
experience technical difficulties,or
problems in understanding something about
the course,they MUST speak up; otherwise
there is no way anyone can know something
is wrong,If one person does not understand
something,possibly several others have the
same problem,If another student is able to
help,she/he probably will,While explaining
something to others,students reinforce their
own knowledge about the subject.
4,Take the program seriously,
Online learning is not easier than study in
regular classrooms,In fact,many students say
it requires much more time and effort,
Requirements for online courses are not less
than those of any quality program,Successful
students,however,see online learning as a
convenient way to receive their education — not
an easier way,Many online students sit at
computers for hours at a time during evenings
and on weekends in order to complete their
assignments,When other people are finished
and having fun is most likely the time when
online students do their course work,Online
students need to commit 4 to 15 hours a week
for each course,
5,Accept critical thinking and decision making
as part of online learning,
Online courses require students to make
decisions based on facts as well as experience,
It is absolutely necessary for students to
assimilate information and make the right
decisions based on critical thinking,In a
positive online environment,students feel
valued by the instructor,by their classmates
and by their own work,
6,Be able to think ideas through before replying,
Providing meaningful and quality input into the
virtual classroom is an essential part of online
learning,Time is given to allow for careful
development of answers,Testing and
challenging of ideas is encouraged,Many times
online students will not always be right; they
just need to be prepared to accept a challenge,
7,Keep up with the progress of the course,
Online learning is normally sequential and
requires commitment on the students' part,
Keeping up with the face-to-face class and
completing all work on time is vital,Once students
get behind,it is almost impossible to catch up,
Students need to want to be there and need to
want the experience,The instructor may have to
communicate with students personally to offer
help and remind them of the need to keep up,
Just as many excellent instructors may not be
effective online facilitators,not all students have
the necessary qualities to perform well online,
People who have the qualities discussed
above usually make very successful online
students,If you have these qualities,learning
online may be one of the best discoveries you
will ever make,(T)
expand,1,Vt,enlarge (使 )扩大,(使 )扩展
2,Vi,膨胀；扩大
expansion,n,扩大，膨胀
e.g,His modest business eventually
expanded into a supermarket empire,他原先
不大的生意后来扩展成了超级市场集团企业。
常见搭配,1,expand sth,into sth,使 …..,变大、
增强为 ……
2,expand on sth,阐述或详述
aware,adj,conscious 意识到的，知道的
awareness,n,意识，觉察
e.g,It happened without my being aware of it,
事情在我不知不觉中发生了。
e.g,I am aware that it has been out of my control,
我意识到事情已经发展到我无法控制的局面了。
下一页
aware 与 conscious 的异同, 两个词语都无比
较级和最高级。 aware为常用词，指通过感官的
觉察或通过情报了解到外界的事物，所表达的是
对外界的感受 ;conscious 为正式用词，主要指
身体状况、内心或心理上的感觉，所表达的常常
是对自身的感受。但这两个词在非正式场合常通
用，后均可接介词 of或 that 从句。
This forum for communication removes the
visual barriers that hinder some students from
expressing themselves,
这一交流的场所消除了阻碍一些学生自我表达的视
觉障碍。
e.g,The noise hindered me in my writing.
e.g,I was hindered from getting here earlier
barrier,(后接介词 to)栅栏 ；障碍，隔阂 ( 同 block)
e.g,The Sahara Desert is a natural barrier
between North and Central Africa,
e.g,Lack of confidence is the biggest barrier
to the improvement of your English.
搭配,1.break down/ remove the barrier 排除障碍
2,cross the barrier 跨越障碍
3,create a barrier 制造障碍
4,social/ cultural/ ethic barrier 社会 /文化 /道德障碍
reflect,1,Vt,反映；显示；反射
2,Vi,(后接 on/ upon) 考虑；反省 ;思考
n,reflection 反映；思考
e.g,According to psychologists,our individual
money habits reflect our beliefs and values,
e.g,I need time to reflect on your advice.
critical,adj,1,crucial or decisive关键的，决
定性的 2,批判的；批评的 ;挑剔的
e.g,We are at a critical time in our history.
我们正处于历史的紧要关头。
e.g,She is critical about everything,
arise,( arose,arisen) Vi,1,come up,turn up
出现，产生，发生
2,derive,originate (后常接 from/ out of)
由 …… 引起
e.g,A new problem has arisen,
e.g,Accidents always arise from carelessness,
注意区分,rise Vi,升起，增加
raise,Vt,提高，举起，提出
arouse,Vt,引起，激起
reinforce,strengthen Vt,加强，增强,增援
n,reinforcement
e.g,The evidence reinforces my view that he
is the thief,
e.g,The news reinforced her hope,
essential,1,adj,(后常接 to/ for) necessary,basic,
indispensable 必要的，基本的 不可缺少的
2,n,(pl,) factor要素，要点,本质
e.g,It is essential that you (should) have a
good command of English before beginning a
course of higher education in UK,在英国开始一
门高等教育课程学习之前,有必要把英语掌握好。
e.g,Food,water and air are essential to life.
e.g,In considering a problem,one must grasp
its essentials,
Providing meaningful and quality input into the
virtual classroom is an essential part of online
learning.
vital,adj,1,important 重要的
2,destructive to life,fatal生死攸关的；致命的
3,(pl,) n,心肺等器官
e.g,It’s absolutely vital that the matter is
kept a secret,
e.g,Heart is a vital organ,
play a role in,play a part in 起作用
该短语中可加入一些形容词修饰名词 role,如 important,
minor(微不足道的 ),subordinate (次要的 )
e.g,Railway plays an important role in the
transportation system,
e.g,Internet plays an important role in our
daily life,
allow for,考虑；顾及
e.g,We must allow for his experience.
e.g,It takes about two hours to get to their office
building,allowing for possible traffic delays.
考虑到路上可能遇到的交通耽搁,到他们的办公大楼大
约要花费两小时。
注意区别 allow for Sb,/ Sth,与 allow Sb./ Sth,for Sth.
后者指,为某目的留出某事物”
e.g,We must allow enough time for our photo-taking,
学生就业的机会在不断增加，因此，越来越
多不同年龄的人们开始关注起这种能使他们
足不出户在家学习的网上学习方式。
本句在形式上为 and连接的并列句，但两个分句
之间的关系实为因果关系。
e.g,He studied hard and he was finally
employed by the company he had longed for.
正如许多优秀的教师不能有效地利用一样
网络辅助教学，并非所有学生都具备在网
上成功学习所需的素质。通常具备上述素
质的人会成为优秀的网络学生。一旦具备
了这些素质，网上学习也许将成为你最有
价值的发现之一。
