Module 5: Online Learning Strategies and Skills

Hello,

An important topic I found in Module 5 would be about active listening. I think this is an important skill so you can really take advantage of the material you are being taught. It also allows you to be more prepared for the next step you may have to take. In this module on slides 12 and 13 it discusses how you should prepare your mind and your environment in order to properly listen actively. Active listening also helps with your chances of memorizing that information. On slide 14 it discusses one way to do this, which is by taking notes while you are listening. The next step would be to look over the notes later on and organize them. You can organize them online using apps or websites such as EverNote or Notability. You could also chose to organize them on paper. There are many different resources you can use to keep your thoughts and notes organized. I think preparation and note taking along with organization is key to success for many. All of these things allow you to become an active listener which in the end will prepare you to become a better listener, student, and overall human being. Active listening is extremely important not only in school but also in your career and in life.
