As online studies become famous and give people access to the world of knowledge that was previously, out of their reach; there are certain things that one must keep in mind. The article talks about what things should you remember or do before and during pursuing online lessons. This is the age of advanced technology and taking classes through video lessons is seen often. In fact it is the scope of studying online that has brought education closer to it seekers, and physical boundaries can no longer stop an individual from pursuing his dreams. It has been especially beneficial for people who want to take up off beat courses which may or may not be run by colleges. For example, subjects like music therapy, comedy writing, wine making, florist etc may not really be accepted or trendy choices as a college major; but a look at their popularity and earning capability in the real world is reason enough for people wanting to study them. And since most colleges do not run such courses, it would be easier to study online from a college or an institute that does. The second biggest advantage of online study is that it saves a lot – both in terms of time and transport. Presume a school student who has his board exams as well as his JEE entrance tests coming up. Would it not be beneficial from him to learn from a video online than waste precious time in commuting; and all the money that comes in terms of transportation cost? However, studying online is not as easy as it seems and it does take a certain amount of dedication and perseverance. Here is a look at the top 5 things that you must keep in mind while studying online: Set up a realistic schedule for yourself. Just because it is studying online and no travel related stress is involved; it does not mean you will be able to concentrate for a continued time span of 6-7 hours. Unless the goals are realistic, you will become too overwhelmed and will be keen to give up. Just as setting achievable goals is necessary, taking breaks is important too. Studying can be intense work and unless you squeeze in time for things that you love doing in between, it can seem too much stress and leave you demotivated. We have all heard of and been part of group studies. Technology has made it easier now as the whole world is at your beckoning. You could build connections and establish your network so that comparing notes and discussing about studies becomes easier over the use of video lessons. Being online not only lets you connect with people who are studying the same thing; but it also gives you access to a world of information and knowledge that can never be put inside a single book. Search the internet to help come up with the best answer for your queries. And last but most importantly; be prudent to review your goals. Are you achieving everything? Maybe you haven’t set up the ideal standard for yourself. Finding everything difficult? Maybe the bar is set too high. It is only you who can evaluate your results accurately to find out where you are going wrong.
