As a parent of a child that is going to be taking an online course there are some things you can do to help them.

1. Your child has timelines to follow, to ensure a successful completion of the course. Ask your child for a copy of their schedule and check with them weekly on their progress.
2. Email the online teacher and ask them if your son/daughter is following the timelines for course completion.
3. Provide your son/daughter a distraction free environment at home with a computer and Internet connection to work on their online course.
4. Ask your son/daughter how the online course is going every other day.
