Learning in an online environment requires different strategies for maintaining focus and motivation. You’ll also need time management skills to stay on top of assignments.Ìý

Tips for Online Learning

  1. Make a weekly scheduleÌý
    Include 6-8 hours of work per class (include lectures, labs, tutorials, etc.), meals, exercise, 7-8 hours of sleep, and hobbies.ÌýGiving yourself structure helps you stay motivated and maintain a healthy school-life balance.Ìý
  2. Establish your study space
    Designate a space for school only, keep materials organized and together, and think of your 5 senses (is your space comfortable? Is it bright? Any distractions?).ÌýYour study space could be a desk in a separate room or a specific seat at your dining room table. Wherever it is, it’s important that you have all your materials available and distractions to a minimum (no eating, TV, or social media).Ìý
  3. Stay organized
    Be aware of deadlines, use calendars, agendas, and to-do lists, and get familiar with the platform your class is using.Ìý91µÎµÎ supports three main platforms: Zoom, , and myCourses. Knowing how to use these platforms, how to access chats and discussion boards, allows you to be fully engaged in your online learning environment. Teaching and Learning Services also has resources available to help you learn about technology used at 91µÎµÎ.Ìý
  4. Family and friends
    Discuss expectations, set boundaries, and plan schedules.ÌýLet them know what you need from them in order to be an effective learner, and find out what they need from you in return.Ìý
  5. Be aware of challenges
    Avoid sarcasm and be mindful of tone, be polite, use proper formatting when sending emails, be active on discussion boards, and ask questions.Ìý
