Here is the passage: Two key advantages of online learning are flexibility and convenience. But online learning is a lot more challenging than it may seem. So, what makes a successful online learner? First, the online learner must make sure he or she is ready to succeed. Online learning can sound so perfect that some students start with an unrealistic vision. In reality, online courses require just as much, if not more, time and energy as traditional classroom courses.

s the most successful students are both efficient at managing their time and also self-motivated. In their study on Predictors for Student Success in an Online Course, researchers Yukselturk and Bulut reiterated that one of the most important components of learning in any educational environment is motivation and found it to be one of the best determining factors of student success. A motivated student could be defined as one who seizes the opportunity to learn or will stick with the class even in the face of adversity. Autonomous, self-regulated learners commit to controlling their own learning experiences. Further explained in this study is that some of the ways that self-regulation can be displayed is by seeking help when they lack understanding, believing in their own capabilities, and organizing the material to be learned.
