Tips for Success

• Have a dedicated virtual learning space (i.e. Learning Commons, Resource Room, Cafe, etc.)

• Plan a daily routine, and actively engage with your course during your scheduled eLearning period

• Limit screen time when not attending an online class

• A chromebook, laptop, or desktop computer offer the greatest ease of access. Using a smartphone or tablet can have limitations when accessing course content.

• Headphones with a microphone are very helpful.

• Reach out to your course teacher early and often for clarification, direction, and support.
