30 life hacks to complete the online course

image

It’s hard for many to focus on online learning. Until the end of the course, several percent of those who started. We offer 30 life hacks that at least a little help you on the road.

Everyone had it. You sign up for an online course that excites you a lot. You finally learn how to program, or learn a new design program. Perhaps, like me, you will have to take another course in finance before you feel that you have completely completed your business education on the basis of massive open online courses (MEP). But you put it off all the time.

Perhaps you manage to enter the course and start work, but in the middle of the first video lecture you notice that a new letter has arrived in the mail, or someone wrote a comment on Habr. Do not have time to look around, as you are sucked into a whirlpool, which we call the Internet. The video lecture ends, and you have no idea what the professor said.

Sounds familiar? Yes, I know what it is.

I graduated from over 25 MOOC and did my course. Some time ago, I asked the community of my students to help make a final list of all the tips, tricks, and hacks that they use to stay involved while learning on the Internet. This is what we came up with.

Technology tips


  • Increase the size of the window with the video lecture . A simple but effective way to minimize distraction.

  • Find a responsible partner . This is a great technique for maintaining motivation. All you need is a friend or relative who is ready to talk with you once a week and listen while you list your goals for the coming week and your achievements for the previous week.

  • Take notes . This was by far the most recommended way to stay involved. Print notes in the second window, draw them on your tablet, or hold a pencil and paper near your computer - because even in this new world of online learning, nothing beats the old-fashioned writing.
