What do you wish you had known about online learning before you started your first online course?  If you have taken other online courses, what advise would you give students who are starting their first online course this semester?  What tricks can you share with other students for studying effectively for online courses? What technical skills have you needed for your online courses? We have novices and experienced online learners in the Online Companion. Experts, please help out the newbies by sharing your lessons learned.

Ask a Counselor:
This is a place for you to ask me general questions about completing your Montgomery College degree or certificate, transferring to a four year college, selecting a college major or choosing a career, or anything about being an online student or an on campus student for that matter.

Student Lounge:
This is a place for each of you to meet other online students from other online courses. Start conversations on any topic.....within reason:-).
Talking about professors is not appropriate in this forum. Have fun.
