Effective Time Management
Traditionally, most people find the norm in education to involve lectures in physical classrooms. Tutor-student interaction is perceived as being only physical. With innovations, virtual learning has been introduced with varying degrees of success. However, lots of students, and potential students, find virtual learning both difficult and inadequate. To this group, combining student life with work and other commitments is no small feat. Self-motivation and managing distractions represent significant challenges to the distance student. Again, this is largely due to the traditional expectations that learning should be restricted to the four walls of a physical classroom.
Motivation and Team Work
As a first-time distance learning student, my experience thus far and from an informal interview with a friend (also on a distance learning program) has been informative. With the flexibility we have, study can be self-paced and the ability to interact with classmates from different parts of the world without having to incur travel costs or work capabilities make it more interesting and enlightening. The key, however is “motivation”. Some students are supported financially by employers and family, but what all distance-learning students must have in common is a passion for their subject and a commitment to self-studying.
Collaborated on Ideas
While circumstances and situations differ, it is important to take advantage of the benefits that learning across borders poses such as increased networking, collaboration and ideas sharing thus initiating an exposure to innovative and unique perspectives. My experience of distance learning has been exciting and enlightening. I have got to know people from various countries and continents, identified with them (despite cultural differences) in terms of motives for registering, collaborated on ideas discussed, and built friendships that transcend the virtual environment.
حافظ على التركيز وتتبع التقدم
لقد أدى شرب لترين من الماء يوميًا والحصول على جدول للنوم إلى تحسين تركيزي بشكل كبير وقدرتي على التركيز ، ولكن مع وجود خطة محددة بالفعل ، لم أعد أفتح كتبي وأضيع وقتًا ثمينًا في التساؤل عما أفعله أو أين أفعل ركز. يمكنني إلقاء نظرة على الرسم البياني الخاص بي وأرى بالضبط ما أحتاج إلى القيام به والبدء على الفور.
بعد كل هذا العمل الشاق ، من المجدي جدًا شطب الموضوعات في التقويم الخاص بك لإظهار مدى تقدمك. يمكن أن يساعدك ذلك في البقاء على المسار الصحيح والبقاء متحفزًا ويمنحك أفضل فرصة للنجاح.

يدرس عدد قليل من أصدقائي أيضًا ، ليس في نفس الجامعة أو حتى في نفس الدورة التدريبية ، ولكن وجود أصدقاء آخرين يمكنني "دراسة الأصدقاء" معهم أو تسجيل الوصول ، يجعلنا جميعًا مصممين على المسار الصحيح. يمكن أن يوفر الجدول الزمني في وقت اللحاق بالركب فترة راحة مطلوبة دون ذعر. هذا يبقي أهدافك واقعية ويمكن التحكم فيها.
