Abstract

Time management directly correlates to student success and persistence in all modalities, but particularly in distance learning. Teaching the study skills and time management tools students need to succeed in the challenging online environment builds confidence, improves success rates, and increases retention. Faculty must prepare students for success both in the classroom and in their future professional careers. Time management tools are necessary in any course, and faculty should teach time management tools along with course-specific content and outcomes; this will improve time management and maximize students' educational achievement while improving overall retention and persistence rates.
