CDLI Parent-Teacher Night 2005-2006 Keys to Success Successful students are those who: Use asynchronous time effectively. Use the course tools like the homepage or the calendar to monitor due dates and manage their time. Do assigned work as soon as it is assigned and in small “chunks” . Use tools like e-mail to write clear and specific requests for assistance, clarification, or explanation from the e-teacher. Participate in vClass by asking questions about what’s been encountered in the web-based content. Strive for understanding instead of scrambling to “jump through the hoops”.
