As the MOOC craze continues to explode , anyone interested in taking an online course faces a tricky question: Which course to take? Here are five aspects that you should consider before you start.

(1) What is your learning style?

Many MOOCs are video-based . Other courses use presentation formats . Some also require participation in group work. If you want to stay motivated during your course ,think about how you enjoy learning.

Are you a visual learner , preferring to use images to understand a topic? If so , a video-based course will work well for you . If you are a verbal learner who gains new information by speaking and writing , try a text-based course with lots of note-taking al learners ,meanwhile , will thrive in forum discussions and project-based assessment.

(2) Are you ready to become a full-time student?

Be realistic about the time that you can commit to your online studies . Participating in an online course can take as much time and commitment as a class-based program. Check the course requirements and make a plan around your current schedule.

(3) Does the course really meet your needs?

Whether you are interested in a professional qualification or want to take a personal development course like yoga , there is a MOOC for you . It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of taking lots of free courses in everything that you ever wanted to learn. Before you start a course , think about the end goal . Is the course aimed at beginners or advanced learners? Why do you need this qualification?

(4) Do you need a support group?

Some people learn best from seeing how others approach the problem.. If you are such a leaner , you will need to supplement your online lessons with an in-person support group.
