Still Learning After All These Years (& So You Should Be!)<br />

#375: Start Early<br />

Students who start the material the day it is due have the lowest grade achievement in<br />

comparison to those that started earlier in the week. Don't leave it till Friday at 11:59 PM.<br />

#376: 9 Women & 1 Month Does Not Make a Baby<br />

e-Learning does not necessarily take less time than other types of training. No, you can't cram<br />

18 hours of classroom instruction into 2 hours of a WBT. Plan accordingly.<br />

#377: You've Got News<br />

I use "Google News Alert" for my daily "skills" training. Examples: "Mediation and Business" & "Outsourcing<br />

and Business." These everyday news feeds help me "leading-edge" manage at the CEO level.<br />

#378: If Only All Learners Were So Self-Disciplined<br />

Although the well-known benefits of e-Learning are extremely compelling to learners and managers alike and<br />

always will account for a certain segment of the online population, the single most defining element in our<br />

experience has been the self discipline required to find the time and interest to self educate.<br />

#379: Cultivate A Learning Community<br />

You don't have to work in isolation - create you own learning community. Find others who are<br />

taking the course, and talk to them regularly. Call or email a colleague and share what you learn<br />

- sharing knowlwedge with others reinforces learning.<br />

#380: "Spurt" It<br />

Log in and work in small spurts throughout the day rather than one long sitting. It makes the<br />

work seem less stressful.<br />

Janet Van Lone Trieschman<br />

#381: Don't Keep The Class/Course Waiting<br />

The difference in e-Learning is that it is self initiated. The phone doesn't ring and call you to<br />

come to class. You must set up time and actively "go" to class. The danger of any time, any<br />

place learning is that it can easily turn into no time nowhere. Don't let it happen.<br />

#382: Find A Learning Buddy<br />

It helps if you join hands with your colleagues to take the same course online and create your own forum to<br />

discuss and share as then the interest and retention of both will improve dramatically. Instead of relying on the<br />

organization to create such a forum officially, take this upon yourself to improve your learning experience.<br />

#383: "Root" Your Learning<br />

Synthesis is not always easy to grasp so build your own mindmap(s) all along the course(s).<br />
