Learning On-line #3
Cameron Hankinson (4th Form) shares his highs & lows as well as some useful tips
Highs of On-line learning
- You are flexible time wise
- There is no rush to complete your work
- You can be comfortable in your own working space
- You can take breaks
Lows of On-line learning
- There is no one on one contact with your teacher
- The work is not explained to you as clearly
- You need strong self-discipline
- There are lots of distractions
What has worked best for me
- I found that by completing the daily tasks on the day, I stayed on top of the work load. This allowed me free time to relax. Setting an alarm at a reasonable time in the mornings also helped. I stayed away from distractions until my work was done, but also allowed myself breaks.
Suggestions to my peers
- Write down your daily tasks
- Stay on top of your work, ideally on a daily basis
- Set an alarm in the mornings
- Reduce distractions
- Find yourself a proper working area
