Responsible factors for success in online education
 Developing a time management strategy:
Discipline is the key to the success of any time management strategy. Smart students
know the importance of time and they always make optimum utilization of time.
However, the majority of the students make their time table but they fail to sit at once
place and conduct their studies. External and internal distractions always create
hindrances in their time management strategies (Roper, 2007).
 Optimum utilization of online discussions:
The utilization of online discussion allows most of the students to interact with others
in asynchronous time. As online discussion building also resultant in building better
social relationships in an effective and efficient way. Also, this is an extremely time-
saving way.
 Motivation:
Motivation towards study is extremely important in order to accomplish academics
related goals. For some toppers, achieving higher grades acts as the motivational
source and for some other toppers learning things in the better way acts as the
motivational sources. Students do not have exactly identical motivational factors each
student should found their own factors which can keep them motivated in effective
and efficient way (Roper, 2007).
 Clearing doubt is extremely necessary:
Many students do not clear their doubt just because they think that if they urge to
clear their doubt then other students will laugh at me because I am going to ask a
simple question. Such kind of mentality do not allow students to take steps forward to
ask questions. As it is important to clear doubts immediately with the tutor (Roper,
2007).

 Always take online tests:
As it is important to take online test because by taking an online test, an individual
can understand that where he/she is standing and on which areas they need to improve
further. Taking online test are convenient and for the tutor also, checking the results
of these tests are convenient (Waschull, 2005).
Measures to incorporate the above factors in this course
In the above section, 5 critical factors are discussed which are responsible for the
success in online education. In order to implement these changes, the students should
incorporate positive mentality that by evaluating these critical success factors they will
achieve excellence in their academics. Apart from this, students have to make necessary
efforts to incorporate the implementation of these factors. Taking discipline measures,
studying with commitment, positive mental attitude, etc, are the important measures that
should be implement in an effective and efficient way before implementing above factors.
As for implementing these factors, it is important that students have should make up
their mind for studying. In short, they should work on developing the interest or finding
purpose for study. For example: some students have purpose in life to become a management
consultant, department head, etc. In this way, it is important that first a student should have
the purpose in their life so that they can work accordingly. Implementing of above factors
will be an easy task for them if they successful figure out their purpose in life (Waschull,
2005).

Time-table
Activities Time Schedule

Yoga and exercise 6:30am to 7:15am
Getting ready for work 7:15am to 7:50am
Reach at destination by 8:00am

Activities Time Schedule
I take care for my dogs From 6:00pm to 7:30, I take care of for my
dog and in the meanwhile I also spend time

the social media.
Sleeping time At 10:30, I sleep till 6: am.
It takes discipline to get stuck to this time table. Whenever any things create difficulty
for me then I always think that right now doing studies is the only productivity things for me
and I should also follow this time table with discipline. Following this time table will also
give me strength and I will stay motivated all the time. I always say to myself that I will
follow this time table like yesterday because I am aware that time management with

discipline is extremely important in order to accomplish academic related goals in an
effective and efficient way.
Priorities – require to manage time for family and work
Likewise, for every student in the world, my family is also my priority. I always make
sure that at the end of day I should manage time to sit with my family members. I feel
comfortable with them and in my family, I truly express each issues of life with my parents
and grandparents. On weekdays, I completed my work till 5pm then at around 5:30 I reach
my house. Then the next 30 mins, I spend daily to make myself relax and comfortable. After
that from 6:00pm to 7:30 pm, I spend my time with my family members but exactly after
7:30 pm I immediately get up to start starting once again. In this way, I manage my work and
family accordingly. Both (family and work) are an important part of life and both of these
important parts should be managed in a systematic way.
Other responsibilities
After fulfilling family and work-related responsibilities, there are other activities also
which need to be fulfilled such as getting socialize, important banking works, traveling goals,
etc. I make sure that all of these activities are covered by me during the weekends instead of
weekdays. However, many times these kinds of activities occur in the process of the
weekdays also at that time I manage my work accordingly. Only on weekends, I get time to
address to issues in a systematic manner.
