Traveling this summer? Whether it's for business or recreation, you can always tote along your online classes.
"I took some of my materials with me, in particular my ethics textbook, for a reason, and that's to make sure I don't fall behind," says Steve Slawin, who took a family vacation to Edinburgh, Scotland this summer. He is currently studying online at St. Petersburg College in Florida to earn an associate's degree in business.
If you are traveling and need to study, set daily goals for yourself, such as reading a chapter, then logging into your class for 30 minutes. Here are a few essentials to remember:
• Internet fees vary depending on your lodging; budget anywhere from $10 - 18 a day for service
• Laptop batteries typically last no more than 2 hours; pack a power adaptor for your computer (international travelers may need to pack an adapter plug as well)
• Touchpads, or trackpads, on laptops can be cumbersome; bring a small mouse with you for extra comfort
