How to be a Successful Online Learner

Self-regulated learning requires three main characteristics of the students:

1. Self-observation that is referring to the students’ ability to monitor their own actions
2. Self-judgement, required to evaluate performance and take responsibility for it
3. Self-reaction, meaning, students must take actions of their performance is not satisfactory

Luckily, these traits can be improved, and the school provides a supportive environment for that. While the primary goal in school is learning, success requires students’ ability to be aware of their progress, monitor their knowledge, and regulate their learning of necessary. This awareness is called metacognition. Students who use metacognitive strategies show academic success.
