I agree with most of the comments here regarding struggling to see the purpose of the questionaires. At the point at which the learner is asked to complete such a questionaire, they have already made a decision to undertake an online course.

For me the questions about readiness should come even before this happens… from a personal experience, I recently thought about undertaking an online MSc. I did my research, asked around and found the ‘part-time’ ‘online’ and ‘flexible’ option I wanted. When I dug deeper I found that actually this meant I still neeeded to put away a minimum of 10 hours a week studying, which to be honest I don’t have (don’t want to make) the time to do. I don’t know why this came as a surprise to me as I work in HE in online health education, but it did!

The question for me therefore becomes – Are you ready to learn? (irrespective of whether it’s online, part time, whatever…).
