Online learning requires structure and engagement in order to remain motivated. Write down objectives and a timetable of what you plan to study to create a routine and responsibility. Divide long study periods into small manageable segments using methods such as Pomodoro to keep attention. Differentiate learning through the selection of different materials: video, quiz, discussion, etc. to make the experience interesting. Rewards along the way to lift the spirits and celebrate the successes. Use peer and instructor forums and group work to stay connected with peers and instructors, and develop community. Finally, find ways to get feedback in time so that you can monitor progress and modify plans to maintain a level of motivation in your online studies.
