Three Takeaways From This Course:
#1. Set SMART Goals
In order to succeed in online classes, one must set SMART goals. This means that one’s goals must be specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-based. Utilizing this framework makes goals seem clearer and less overwhelming, making it easier to achieve them.
#2. Utilize technology to aid learning
Apps like Study Scheduler and Notability can have a great impact on the learning process. Study Scheduler can be used to plan study sessions and keep oneself accountable for completing each session. Notability can be used to take, store, and organize notes.
#3 Get Organized
Online courses, especially asynchronous ones, offer students a lot more freedom than classes taught in the classroom. Students get to choose when, where, and how they learn the course content. Without proper organization, this freedom can end up being a detriment to one’s education. Writing down due dates in order, planning study sessions ahead of time, and decluttering a study space are great ways to get organized and ensure success in online courses.
