Are you planning to enroll yourself in an online learning course? Well, countless students, professionals, and homemakers are right now doing the same. There are speculations that the e-learning industry will triple its size within 2020-2025. The COVID-19 pandemic has any way led to a drastic surge in the number of online courses offered by educational institutes and various e-learning platforms. So, is it really tricky to learn anything from the comfort of your home? No, not at all! Here are some useful tips that you can follow to do your online course successfully.

1. Set your study goals

To stay motivated, set your goals. Ask yourself what you must accomplish each day to complete the course in a set duration. It should be specific and measurable. For example, you can set a goal of watching all the videos, or at least two online lectures of the first module of your course.

2. Choose a study space

Enrolling into an online course does not mean that you can learn while lying lazily on your bed. It will only cause distraction. So, choose a cluttered-free space of your home as your study space. If you have a separate study room, feel blessed!

3. Be focused

Do you like to scroll through your Instagram or Facebook feed when you are in a classroom? So, just because there is no camera or no professor around you, you don’t have the right to distract yourself. Remain focused to absorb more in less time.

4. Take short breaks

For high performance and memory retention, it is vital to take short breaks. Just walk outside, take a shower, or have a chit-chat with your friend to rejuvenate yourself before you again resume your study.

5. Take notes

While sitting in front of your desktop or laptop, always have a pen and notebook. Take notes to write down the key points, just like you do in a traditional classroom. Taking notes will immensely help you in extending your attention span.

Still, if you think you can face any hiccups, choose a course where there is a provision for 1:1 online training. At present, many training institutes are offering such online training courses at a reduced course fee as a part of their COVID response.
