Tips for Online and Remote Learning

We understand the transition to distance learning can be a challenge. Below are a few tips and resources to help you be successful in your online and remote summer classes.

Time and place: treat online classes like any other class

  • Plan to work on your class according to a set schedule (e.g., MWF 9:00 am-11:30 am). Consider maintaining a similar schedule to the spring schedule you already established.
  • Put all deadlines for the semester in your calendar. This is always a good practice, but may be more useful now that you don鈥檛 have an instructor offering the normal in-person prompts.
  • Have a designated place where you work on your class (e.g., specific rooms in your home, a comfortable outdoor space, anywhere that is noise and distraction-free)
  • Get dressed like you would to go to class
  • Try not to work on the class too late at night
  • Never work on your course work in bed
  • Remember that specific dates/times for assignment deadlines are all in Mountain Time. You can so your assignment due dates will be accurate regardless of where you are in the world.
