This course is intended to improve teaching and learning outcomes in the online classroom. A successful online student possesses three things among others: ability to plan, ability to visualize the course as a process, and ability to use a calendar as a tool. After taking this course, the instructor will be able to teach his/her student techniques for high performance such as time management skills, while discouraging procrastination. The instructor will teach the student to think of each course assignment as a process versus an event, starting at the end of the process and working backwards, and teaching strategies to schedule study time to coincide with other extracurricular activities. The instructor will teach his/her students how to organize the course by using an Outlook Calendar. The student will be able to display self-discipline in creating a calendar to prioritize assignments and study for tests. The calendar will help with course workload, types of labor, due dates, and scheduling. It will have the student asking what problems do they foresee while taking the online course and when are good times and places for him/her to study. This course will give the instructor ready-made assignments to share with students at the beginning of the course to increase success in their online course.
