STUDENT TESTIMONIAL: RHIANNON NORMAN ‘My name is Rhiannon, I am 17 years of age. A few months ago I came across ACE Community Colleges, whilst looking for places to study and complete a Certificate III in Early Childhood. I found ACE Colleges on the internet and called to make an appointment for enrolment. The staff at ACE were helpful, understanding and respected my enthusiasm to enrol for the course. I am currently in the middle of studying for my Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care. I’ve gained so much knowledge in such little time already and can’t wait to go out into the workforce! With a big thankyou to ACE for making it so achievable. I hope more and more people, at any age, engage in some sort of study that they want to get involved in and are able to strive towards successfully completing with the best of knowledge, prac. and a better understanding. The team at ACE are so supportive and have made it such a fun experience and worth the study! ACE helped me with my first small steps to a big career.’

SUCCESSFUL ONLINE LEARNING REQUIRES: Personal skills. In the online environment, and particularly as a distance education student, it’s beneficial to be an active learner who takes responsibility for their own learning, motivation and self discipline. Literacy skills. Studying online is dependent on strong reading and writing skills. Much subject content will be delivered by readings, and a lot of your communication will be in written form. If you know these are not your areas of strength, seek some support and try and develop these skills. Study skills. Studying online requires many of the same skills as traditional face-to-face study. Things like time management, motivation, being clear of expectations and exam preparation still remain important aspects of study. General computer skills. You will need at least a basic level of proficiency in computer use to successfully study online. Necessary -skills include word processing, file management, saving and printing. Internet skills. Being able to go to specific URLs, book-marking, saving and printing web pages will all be important skills. More advanced skills such as web searching and website evaluation would also benefit most students.
