Elements of SWOT

Strengths

(relate to ‘you’ in a team)

e.g. experience of Internet discussion areas.

Weaknesses

(also relate to you)

e.g. this is the first time you have used the virtual learning environment (VLE); unsure how to participate.

Opportunities

(relates to what online discussions can offer)

e.g. huge opportunity to learn from the perspectives of others potential to make your learning more effective.

Threats

(relates to what can compete for online use)

e.g. the need to read books as well online-based learning material or access to online spaces.

Think about your own situation at the beginning of your academic journey. What are your strengths, and weaknesses? These might be something to do with experience of studying online. Think next about potential opportunities ahead such as enhanced promotion opportunities upon successful completion of the programme. Consider some threats to this. Perhaps finding time to study might be a threat to your progress. How might you mitigate this?
