World Distance Learning Day


World Distance Learning Day is celebrated on August 31st to show appreciation and support for online learning. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, most students took online classes in college to get ahead with their career goals. However, many of the students took online classes during the pandemic to complete their academic goals for graduation in elementary school or high school. During this time, online classes were the only way to continue studying in school and college. Some students continue taking online classes more and are surprised with how much they have accomplished in their general education studies. 


Yet, students need to have self-discipline, time management, and be interested in studying new things. Also, if you are not a student, it is a promising idea to learn new skills in technology. Technology might not come easily for some, but it is important to be updated about how to use it wisely. Online classes might challenge you to learn distinctive styles of learning. My experience with online classes was positive and helpful in learning about my career.


Online classes save you time to get ready for college in the morning. It helps you save financially because there is no need to use transportation unless it is hybrid class. Hybrid classes make you learn online at home and in a college classroom. These classes help you to get to know your classmates in a classroom and the online classes. Focusing might be an issue if you have a tough time staying awake at night or in the morning.


Nonetheless, there are online classes where you can take the class at any time and turn in the homework. Before you sign up for an online class in college, read the description of the class. As soon as you are logged in to the online class, print out any classroom guidelines or other materials that are provided for your class. Some professors will give you a list of all the assignments and test days. Print and keep your assignments list, classroom guidelines, classroom contract, and other documents in a brightly colored folder.


Another interesting thing about online classes is that you can read your assigned book for the class before taking your online class. Be alert and look for extra credit assignments if they are offered in your online class. Additionally, if there is a group homework assignment, get to know your classmate's names. Get their e-mail addresses and telephone numbers to help each other with the group project. Take your online class with dedication and endeavor.


Take one or two online classes in your college semester. Like any class, studying is a priority, and you must find time to study. Do not feel guilty for turning down a party event. Being responsible in your studies is what will help you graduate or transfer to a university. Here are website links with online learning tips.
