Module 2

Chapter 12

Chapter 12 highlighted the importace of a personalized work space and working remotely. Ergonomics is important because online learners spend long hours at a computer. It gave tips on creating the ideal study environment, and I have learned I must leave my home to get work done. I often travel to a library because my home is too comfy, and I am likely to fall asleep. I soon plan to travel, and will have to take my assignments on the road, so the advice the chapter gave about working remotely was helpful, especially the reminder to be aware of changing time zones. Also, in this age of internet hackers, this chapter mentioned the importance of guarding our privacy while online, and using secure connections whenever possible.
