Knowing your personal learning strengths and weaknesses will help you succeed. This is especially true in an online learning environment.

Your learning preferences are consistent whether you are learning in a regular classroom or in an online classroom. Identifying your type of learning preference can increase the likelihood of success in an online course. Once you identify your learning preference or preferences (because some learners prefer more than one), you can start to predict the types of resources and support you will need.
