Online learning is popular and increasing. Whether you are in grade school, college, or taking online professional education courses, these online learning tips will help you have the best experience possible.
- Set up your workspace in a place that has the best internet connection possible. Use the HubbleIQ Wifi Spotcheck to test out several locations in your available workspace to which option is best.
- Make sure your device is up to the tasks you’ll be performing. Writing a document on google docs, streaming lectures, and video calling classmates put different levels of strain on your devices and may require certain features that some of your devices do not have. Check the required specifications on the software that you use and be mindful of whether a Chromebook, tablet, or full-featured laptop will be needed.
- Consider getting a VPN if you will have to work on a public wifi network such as a coffee shop or co-working space. Public wifi is not as secure as your home network and is susceptible to hackers. Having a private network helps protect you from such bad actors.
- If you need to buckle down and focus, try out some time management applications that will help you get more work done with your day such as Dewo or Sunsama.
- Make sure that you are aware of internet safety guidelines. Check out our post on internet safety to brush up on how to have safe online experiences.
