Tips for Success with Online Learning
2. Get organized-and stay organized. Create an orderly learning space to do schoolwork. Be sure you have room for your book, computer, pens, paper, and other supplies.
3. Set personal goals. Think about what you'd like to accomplish, both short and long term. Be sure put your goals in writing and post the list where you will see it often.
4. Make the most of your resources. Your texts, the library, and online instructional tools. Don't forget the human resources you can use: parents, teachers, and school counselors are great sources of information.
5. Start on track and stay on track. It's always better to be ahead than to be struggling at the last minute! Break down big projects into small, manageable parts--and give each one a deadline.
6. Learn to deal with setbacks. Everyone has them! Every person who succeeds has had to struggle to get there. When you get a bad grade, have an argument with a friend, or experience other frustrations, realize that this is a learning experience. Talk to someone to get another point of view--you could be worried about something that is pretty small in the long run. To move forward, you must take responsibility for what you have done (or not done) and decide to change your behavior in the future. Making a plan for achieving greater success in the future will help build confidence too!
