Do A Good Job at e-Learning
|
If
you about to start on an e-Learning programme, or even considering
embarking one, you're probably worried about doing a good job at
it. You probably have many questions about e-Learning and we'll
try to resolve some of your worries.
To fully benefit all that e-Learning has to offer, we offer you
some pointers:
1. Allocate Time for Studying
Successful e-Learners set aside time for studies amidst work and
family commitments, and this can only be done through proper time
management. You should devote a fixed number of hours for your studies
each week, and not let yourself be distracted during that time.
2. Maintain Self-Discipline
You'll need discipline to stick to your schedule. Of course, there
will be sacrifices. You need not surrender your social activities
but some activities will have to be cut down.
3. Set Achievable Goals
Consider your goals realistically. Although e-Learning is self-paced,
you should not be overly ambitious and attempt to complete your
course in the shortest time possible. You have to consider other
commitments such as work and family obligations.
4. Participate Actively
You should take the initiative to read your lecture notes and other
materials, and ask questions that you may have. PurpleTrain.com
encourages you to ask questions during online lectures, in the forums
or email the lecturers/e-facilitators.
5. Engage in Peer e-Learning
Contrary to perceptions that e-Learning involves studying alone,
e-Learning via PurpleTrain.com offers real-time interaction within
an online community spanning geographical boundaries. You can participate
in chat sessions to share opinions and learn from the experiences
of your course mates. Discussion threads in the online forums also
allow you to post your views on a specific topic as and when you
login.
6. Take Advantage of Available Resources
More than just actively participate online and interact with your
peers, we encourage you to make full use of the online resources
available, such as supplementary materials and other references.
With e-Learning, you can access information at anytime, anywhere.
Constraints such as a fixed time or venue are eliminated through
PurpleTrain.com. The learning process via PurpleTrain.com is not
any less compromised because students still interact with lecturers
and course mates, and are provided with study materials.
PurpleTrain.com offers a plethora of programmes, ranging from diplomas
to bachelor and master degree programmes. With these pointers, you'll
do a good job with e-Learning via PurpleTrain.com and add another
feather in your cap.
