  • Would I like to learn new software or a set of online procedures to access the course materials and chat with the instructor and other colleagues who are taking the course?
  • Do I work well alone?
  • Am I self-disciplined?
  • Will I be comfortable if I don't get to see the instructor in person?
  • Will I be comfortable if I have to ask questions via email?
  • Do I have 10 hours available each week that I am able to devote to this program?
  • Will I be able to access the internet 3-4 times per week over the next 12 weeks?
  • Am I looking forward to exploring new things?
  • Do I like attending class in my pyjamas?
  • Do I enjoy direct feedback from my instructor?
  • Do I consider collaborating with colleagues from all across the country and different parts of the world to be a wonderful learning opportunity?
