Read on to gain useful techniques on how to study remotely effectively. GISMA is here to support you every step of the way, with whatever you may need.

What steps can you take to pursue your education remotely?

Follow these simple tips for online learning success to ensure that your education continues without any disruptions:

• Create a quiet and organised space where there are no or limited disturbances and good internet connection. You should ensure that the space has as much natural light as possible, and is free from noise.
• Sign out of all social media accounts before you sit down to study to eliminate distractions. Make sure your family members are familiar with your schedule so that they don’t disturb you.
• Excessive flexibility can create havoc with your schedule. Instead, create a structured schedule with the help of your programme advisors, professors and fellow students.
• Use online collaboration tools such as Google Docs, Trello, WhatsApp groups and Skype to help with your group assignments.
• Make phone and video calls, send emails and texts to help you stay in touch with everyone.
• Explore online resources and databases for your research instead of a physical library.
