Digital Literacy for Online Learning

Finding time to learn can be challenging in our day-to-day lives. Although learning online is flexible, you will have to decide on your own learning routine, plan enough time for learning and avoid distraction during this time.

Here are a few tips that may help in your online learning:

• Plan your learning time and reward yourself on achieving it.
• Try to balance your free time and your learning time: it is good to take study breaks as this can help with your studies, but do try to prioritise your learning.
• Try not to be distracted by text messages, emails or social media updates.
• Make the most of the time you have available to learn. If you are studying while travelling make sure you have the relevant materials with you (you can print out some materials and read them on the bus/on the move.)
• If you feel yourself putting off study, tidying your work space, gazing out of the window or even sharpening your pencils, you have fallen into the trap of procrastination. When it comes to finding the time to study, just do it and make the most of the time you have available.
