 //Reflection Prompt:// ** Reflect on how you perceive yourself as an online learner. Are you well-prepared to be an online leaner? Tell us about what you need to improve in order to be a successful online learner. **

**Description:** During module 7, I examined the many resources about characteristics for online learning and teaching. In order to be a successful online learner, one must be: 1) familiar with technology and the learning management system, 2) organized and self-disciplined, 3) able to communicate clearly and thoughtfully, and 4) "visible" in the online setting. An online learner is open-minded and willing to spend time each day on completing tasks.

**Impact:** During this module I learned that I do inherently possess many of the qualities that an online student needs. I agree that online learners need to be self-motivated and disciplined, organized, and even most importantly, online learners need to effectively communicate through writing.

**Intent:** As a result of what I learned this module, I will continue to work on organization and time management. As an adult online learner, there are many other responsibilities that I need to fulfill throughout each day. I am constantly improving my time management by adhering to a schedule in order to meet all of my responsibilities.
