Since the onset of Covid-19, most of us have been forced to make substantial changes to our daily lifestyle. From businesses switching to working from home, households ordering essentials online to students adapting to off-campus digital learning – all of us have had to deal with our share of “new normal”.
And despite the many benefits it comes packed with, students have had to face many challenges during their online learning escapades. Hence, to make this transition smooth, here is a set of best practices to make online learning effective and fun at the same time!
Students looking to expand their skill set can find paying for online courses from top universities a little tricky. Instead, they can take advantage of digital learning platforms like Udemy and Coursera that provide discounted courses with the help of coupons and promo codes. Moreover, students can also attain unlimited access to study material, offline lecture videos, quizzes, doubt clearing sessions, and many other helpful resources for a seamless learning experience.
Currently, students can redeem the latest Udemy Coupons to unlock 100% free courses across fields like programming, development, design, business, marketing, and much more.
Before the pandemic, your study spot could vary from anything between the local cafe that serves your favourite cup of joe to the school library. However, now those areas are not as accessible. As a result, it is of utmost importance that you create a dedicated study space for yourself, free from distractions and chatty housemates.
Avoid being misled by the notion of needing a fancy home office to get things done. Something as small as reserving a nook in your room can be enough to get you in the zone to check off all items on your to-do list. Just make sure your study space has ample light, a sturdy desk, and everything you need to get the job done – notebooks, writing supplies, and a couple of house plants to keep you company.
When you are out of college and don’t have the pressing need to reach on time for the morning lecture, the impulse to snooze till noon can get out of hand quickly. With the perks of on-demand learning and pre-recorded lectures, the need to stick to a schedule is more important than ever, especially if you want to make the most of your digital learning experience.
Human beings are a creature of habit, which is why a routine can save you precious hours by improving your time management skills along with comprehensive learning capabilities. An established study routine can put you into the right mindset of studying and absorbing information faster. Just remember to take frequent breaks during the day to get those creative juices flowing!
Switching from a classroom of students to isolating and learning alone can be daunting, especially if you enjoy group discussions and speaking to your peers. Keep in mind that you are not alone when it comes to solitude studying during the pandemic. Get in touch with your friends and classmates to organize virtual study groups where you can engage in discussions and combined learnings.
You can use platforms like Zoom, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Skype, etc, to create group video call sessions multiple times a week. New students can get in touch with their professors or university admins to find out about ongoing study groups or take their help in organizing a new one.
Never underestimate the power of a good one on one discussion with your instructor or professor. Students often struggle with small things that can be resolved within a 5-minute phone call. Besides, no rule defines that you can only connect with your professors when something goes wrong.
You can talk to them about things you found insightful, a particular part of the lecture that spoke to you deeply, or any little detail worth sharing can go a long way in building your relationship and enhancing your overall experience of that class.
The entire process of learning and teaching has been established via virtual channels during Covid-19. As of now, this is the only means to continue the educational process without disruptions or putting anyone at risk. Hence, even if digital learning is not your primary choice, these tips can go a long way in making the best of your online learning process.
On the brighter side, digital learning doesn’t have to be expensive anymore! Make use of coupon websites to catch the lowest prices for your favourite courses, and unlock unlimited access to study material, video lectures, and so on.
