Whether you’re a first-time university student or returning to school after taking a break, it is important to set aside time to study and engage in your learning. And with the flexibility and autonomy that comes with being an online student, it is critical to schedule time to regularly access the virtual classroom, interact with your peers and instructor, study the course materials, and stay on top of the due dates for discussions, projects, and assignments.
As an online university student, you’ll encounter and receive advice on a variety of tools and tactics to help you succeed as a learner in the online classroom. For this activity, we’ll focus on three effective tactics to support learning: time management strategies, schedules, and note taking. First, you’ll read about ways to manage your time, ideas for creating a schedule, time management do's and don’ts, and note taking methods. Once you’ve finished the readings, you will devise a schedule.
