Top 10 Tips for eLearning

1. Allocate quiet time to concentrate on your learning experience. If possible, avoid interruptions during your study time.
2. Decide on a schedule and goals that suit you. This will help you see the value of your training and the benefits it will bring you.
3. Set realistic learning goals. Acquiring new skills can certainly improve your effectiveness as a professional, but you also need to balance training with your other obligations.
4. Be considerate of others. If you happen to be studying in an open plan area, use headphones to reduce noise output.
5. If you know somebody who is involved in your chosen area of study, talk with them. They may turn out to be a valuable mentor.
6. If you study for a long period of time, such as for 2-3 hours, take 2-3 short breaks. Stand up. Walk around. Stretch your legs.
7. After you take a break, try to recall and reflect on what you learned in the previous session. Consider "What does this mean to me?" and you'll find it easier to apply your newly learned concepts and ideas.
8. Be an active participant. For most people, learning is a social process. Use the discussion board to share your ideas and to benefit from discussing your viewpoint with others.
9. Use all the available tools to help you maintain your skills. There are many valuable, continually updated resources available to you throughout the eLearning System.
10. To better retain what you have learned, share your ideas with others who may find them interesting.
