Learning patterns and strategies

• Minimize Distractions: As much as you can, minimize distractions both in your physical environment and your digital environment. Close web browser windows not relevant to your learning, keep the TV off, etc.
• Self-Prepare Notes: You must prepare lecture notes during the session and also write down doubts.
• Online education has raised questions on the quality of learning. Recent studies, however, have shown that online students are more independent and self-disciplined as learners. The students learned to trust their own judgment and think deeper into the topic than the traditional classroom teaching.
• Learning how to be a good online student takes time and effort. You need to follow certain online learning strategies (described below) and put them into practice during your own studies. With the help of the right tools and attitude, you can become a good and successful online student in no time.

Create a Reliable Online Environment

• Attend classes, do homework, and study all in the same place, which will help you associate that place with learning.
• Keep your study area free of distractions like the TV, social media, etc.
• Most importantly, make sure to take online classes in a quiet environment. It will help to keep you focused on the study session.

Stay Organized

• Stay organized is vital for effective online learning.
• You need to keep track of due dates, stay up to date on your study schedule, and also be aware of any important test or assignment dates.

Practice effective communication

• Mute your microphone when you are not speaking and un-mute only when you are ready to say something.
• If you are not sure that when you should speak, raise your hand to call the teacher's attention.
• Sometimes there may be a delay in audio so pause for a few seconds before responding to questions and allow extra time for others to respond to you.
