Tips for successful online training
View some items to consider for a better online learning experience.
1. Keep yourself accountable
Without a traditional classroom environment, you do not have the verbal and visual cues that remind you focus. Set goals for yourself at the start of training, and check your progress against those goals regularly.
If you are having trouble holding yourself responsible, pair up with another colleague and work through training together – keeping each other accountable. Keep yourself organized and self-aware so you can get the most from an online learning environment.
2. Time management is an ongoing practice
The flexibility of online learning can also be a stumbling block. The freedom that comes with this form of learning, requires practicing time management on a regular basis. Being proactive is a key to effective time management:
- Take note of major deadlines or dates. Consider how this impacts other projects you may have going on.
- Create a training schedule and follow it
- Time-block your calendar so you can focus on training
- Do self-reflection along the way to determine if you have enough time and focus for the task at hand
3. Re-use an organized study space
Dedicated environments for focused learning can help cue you to focus. Try establishing habits and routines around training. Think about what environment works best for you. It could be a table in your house, a home office, a patio table, or somewhere outside of your house. A strong internet connection is a need for online learning, particularly for video-heavy courses.
4. Remove distractions
The browser is a portal to a world of entertainment.. and distraction. It is easy to get de-railed while training online. Take steps to remove distractions – block URLs, close other browser tabs, set your phone to silent, etc.
Some apps and software help you study by blocking other apps and websites – ask helpdesk@supernus.com for suggestions on software to improve focusing on tasks and removing distractions.
