Online learning is a growing field, providing unique opportunities and requiring unique preparation.

Under Interactive Tutorials, users will find a collection of lessons and tips (all under 15 minutes in length) that cover a range of topics relevant to online learners, from "Getting Tech Ready" to "Financial Planning." These tutorials can be accessed in three formats: multimedia presentations, text scripts, or audio recordings. Under Interactive Tools, readers will find four personalized tools that demonstrate the benefits of online learning and further prepare students for this unique educational environment. For example, the Computer Readiness Test ensures that your computer is up-to-date with the proper technology and plug-ins to make your online learning experience go smoothly.

The tool updates in real time, allowing individuals to adjust, plan, and prioritize their time. These resources are curated by California Community Colleges Online Education Initiative, dedicated to providing "interactive, helpful, and easily accessible," tools for online students. Readers should note that their user experience will be best when the resources are accessed on a computer or tablet, rather than a phone.
