“Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow.”

-Anthony J. D’Angelo


Effective online learning often entails more planning and more determination than in-person learning. It demands strict discipline and a lot of energy. Among various challenges that the pandemic has imposed on us, reimagining learning is one of them. While engaging in the online class can be draining, the learning experience can be at par or even better than in the traditional physical classroom. Despite, growing as digital natives, online learning can be quite a lot of fun, engaging and interesting.

Some simple yet effective strategies to improve your online learning process are: 

  • Set up your home environment: Our minds tend to get distracted easily, so it’s important to put your best foot forward while preparing your home learning environment. Find a quiet, isolated area in your home which will not only keep you away from the unnecessary distractions but will also aid you in concentration better.
  • Develop a time-management strategy: One constant struggle encountered by the students studying online is the self- discipline needed to devote adequate time to the class. It’s extremely important for you to create a plan that is not only flexible but is also not so devastating. You need to designate and spend definite time to read, complete assignments, revise and enjoy.
  • Make the best of online discussions: Communication is one of the key fundamentals to an effective education. Therefore, it’s significant to intermingle as much as you can. Both you and your teacher should be able to interact in order to build trust and extract meaningful discussions.
  • Ask questions: Asking questions is integral to learning. By asking in-depth questions, you and your teacher would go deeper into the subject thus, making the class more engaging and understanding.
  • Stay motivated: Lack of direct physical contact and interaction with your friends and teachers, you are bound to lose interest or motivation mid-way through the class. Pump yourself with motivation by always keeping your eyes on the prize. Imagine yourself having had achieved your dreams. The solution is to just keep moving.
  • Create connections: Stay in touch with your friends and teachers. No magical formula promises success in online learning. Just because you are behind the screen doesn’t mean you have to forget all about the human element. Physical distance should not mean social distancing. The emotional factor in a class is the answer to engage yourself better. This is especially true in online learning environments.

In the end, just remember to celebrate every day. Even if you think you’re moving slowly, know that every step counts no matter how small. Keep putting one foot in front of the other and showing up for yourself as often as you can.
