How students can get into the habit of taking online classes and using learning apps to minimize disruption to their studies.
As Covid-19 has been declared as Pandemic by World Health Organisation (WHO) and there is a sense of fear and panic all around the globe. Given the government-led advisory for educational institutes to remain shut to protect students from Coronavirus till further notice, the role of online education and learning apps has become critical and is seeing a sharp growth in acceptance and usage.
This has led more and more institutions exploring most effective e-learning applications to make learning accessible to students in the comfort and safety of their homes.
Rise of online learning in Covid-19 lockdown
Online classes, e-learning platforms, virtual classes on social media platforms have started emerging to provide uninterruped teaching-learning processes.
Home learning applications are offering comprehensive learning with the availability of eBooks on their platform which provides a student more in-depth information and study material.
To get your at-home schedule on track and prepare for exams effectively, here are a few pointers that can help:
1. Setting up goals
Define your goals so that you can measure your progress and create a timetable to achieve these goals. If you have a goal in mind to achieve, then you can easily separate your study time to accomplish that.
[Parents can encourage goal setting in their kids – during this time this skill is important] There are a few proven techniques in setting goals that you can use:
- Write a clear goal
- Place it where it is easily visible
- Create a specific action plan for each goal
- Visualize yourself accomplishing them
- Celebrate your accomplishment
2. Set a routine
To ensure that each day is productively utilized, a routine is a must. Following a timetable ensures that students are able to allocate adequate timings to each academic subject, recreational activities, personal time and even family time.
3. Create a proper learning space
There should be a proper desk and a space for learning activities or studies. Find a quiet place where you can focus on studies with minimal distractions and that space should be away from the TV and video games.
Also, there should not be any kind of eating or playing activity around the desk.
4. Exchange of knowledge
Students can have some feel of studying in a group and interactions by having informative conversations with family members in the house, discuss their e-learning with friends over calls.
This exchange can be stimulating and engaging somewhat like a real-life classroom during the Covid-19 lockdown.
The Covid-19 lockdown is a critical time for students as they make a sudden transition to a new mechanism of learning.
