With online and blended learning being the need of the hour, how do students ensure effective learning and retention of concepts?
In this competitive world with emerging new technologies and new trends, one has to adapt to online learning to learn new skills and gather extra knowledge. But young minds find it difficult to concentrate and engage in long hours of content and knowledge sharing sessions.
Here are some tips that will help young learners in retaining knowledge and focusing when doing an online course.
Plan your learning – You must be following the timetable given by the school/college, right? Create your own weekly plan that includes online learning, finishing assignments, mealtimes, gaming etc.
Write tips and tricks – Use a pen and paper to take notes during online classes. These are the tips and tricks that teachers often give during sessions which will definitely help you in completing homework and prepare for quizzes or tests.
Strategize breaks – Plan the breaks strategically between online classes time and self-study. Move around, relax and get ready for the next session.
Celebrate Your Accomplishments – Reward yourself after completing a milestone, however small it may be. Treat yourself to your favorite dish, listen to your favorite music … anything that makes you happy.
Take small steps – To be productive, it’s best not to multitask and complete assignments in hand before moving on to the next one.
Follow your schedule – Though you are taking online classes from home but consider each day as if you are in school. Follow the same routine—get up on time, shower, have breakfast, and get ready for classes.
Happy Learning!
