It is no secret that the COVID-19 outbreak has forced
many of us to make major changes to our daily lives.
Companies have moved to remote work, K-12 schools have
embraced distance learning, and many college students who
used to be enrolled on-campus are now enrolled in online
courses.
While online learning carries many positive benefits that
make it the preferred choice for millions of students, it
doesn't come without its challenges--especially for
students who are more familiar with in-person courses.
These seven tips are from Jonathan Small associate vice
president of online education at Regis College. They will
help you adjust your study habits for fully online
learning.
Tips for taking online classes
1. You can look ahead to see when you have to submit your
assignment.
Students who are taking online courses typically interact
with the subject matter as well as their assignments
using a learning management system (LMS). Regis online
classes are conducted through Moodle. Other popular tools
include Canvas or Blackboard.
No matter which LMS your course uses, it's important to
spend some time getting to know the interface and your
assigned assignments. You can look ahead at your assigned
assignments and make note of the due dates to help you
create a realistic plan for how you will complete your
work.
Small states that an online class is more flexible than a
face-to-face class because it uses modular structures. It
is often difficult to remember when work is due because
you are not physically there. Students need to manage
their time in online classes.
2. Take the time to study, and then work in groups.
As with other universities, students often pursue their
education at Regis while also having other
responsibilities. There are many things that can take up
your attention: childcare, work, family obligations,
internships, and so on. It is important that you have a
plan that will allow you to manage all these
responsibilities.
Small says that "clunking tasks, as I like it to be
called, give students a means to feel accomplished." You
feel like your progress is being made. It's also a good
idea to schedule study time.
3. For group projects, communicate regularly.
Group projects and assignments are common in college
courses. This holds true for online courses just as well
as for in-person classes. Small explains that online
courses are more effective for group projects because
they bring together people face-to-face. However, in-
person classes allow for groups to work together, but
online learners need to be extra careful to communicate
effectively.
If they want to avoid confusion, groups need to
prioritize communication.
Small advises, "Find a system that works well for
everyone and keep in touch with them often."
4. Group work should be divided early.
In this vein, it is also important for groups of people
to assign tasks in a way that everyone can be responsible
for and that everyone understands what they are
responsible for.
Small says, "Ensure that you plan ahead when working on
group projects so that you can split the work up and
coordinate your efforts." This will allow everyone to
work when they have the time.
5. Make contact with your professor often.
Communication is important. Just like it is important to
communicate regularly with your groupmates, classmates,
and professors, it is equally important to communicate
with them. You should make an effort to reach out to your
professor, no matter if you have questions about a
project or want to tell them where you are struggling.
Small states that speaking to your instructor is key to
your success. Do not try to solve your problems on your
own. Your instructor is here to help. You can save
yourself days of stress by calling your instructor for
just five minutes. You'll feel better and get clarity.
This will make you more successful.
However, don't assume that communication is only possible
when something goes wrong. Your professor can help you
establish a good relationship by letting you know when
something is going right.
6. Participate as much and as often as possible
Participation is essential to the success of any course,
online or offline. Active participation will not only
show your professor that it's engaging but also
demonstrate that you are interested in learning and are
willing to work hard to achieve your goals. Education is
often seen as a passive process. Participation makes it
an active one.
Small states that participation as a student is the best
way to get the most out of your experience.
7. Be flexible
Online learning demands flexibility for both you and
others in your course, including your professors.
Small says that instructors made the transition to remote
teaching in a matter of days, which is the same time it
took to move into online learning.
"Nobody expected this. Simply by being kind,
compassionate, engaged in your courses, and speaking to
your instructor, you can recreate the campus community
and make the transition as seamless as possible.
Doing the work
Although online learning may not be the best option for
you, following the advice given above will allow you to
get the most from your courses. It is important to
communicate clearly with your classmates and instructors.
Also, it is important to stay engaged with the course
material. This will help you succeed in difficult times.
