Still Learning After All These Years (& So You Should Be!)<br />
#384: During The Course<br />
Turn off any/all distractions, post a "Training in Progress" sign on your door, use headsets, set a learning<br />
goal and check that you've met it by the end of the course, make notes of any questions or problems, keep<br />
a "Bright Ideas List" that identifies key points to remember and apply on the job, and find out about any<br />
additional resources for reenforcing and supplementing the course materials.<br />

#385: When Only The Best Will Do<br />
Buy the best telephone headset out there - not the best you can afford - the best there is. A phone headset<br />
is no place to save money. And buy a wired headset as wireless headsets are subject to interference.<br />

#386: Do Not Disturb Me<br />
People sometimes say they have a problem trying to "attend" an e-Learning class from their office or cubicle<br />
due to interruptions. This can be solved with a pair of headphones so you can crank up the volume as loud as<br />
you need to. This also eliminates distractions. Some managers I know have ordered specialty balloons and a<br />
helium tank for their offices. The balloons say, "Training in Progress" or "Do Not Disturb, I'm e-Learning!" When<br />
an employee needs to attend a class or focus on a course, they simply tie one of these balloons to their chair or<br />
desk (or somewhere it can be instantly seen by those who might be inclinded to disturb them.)<br />

#387: Becoming a Disciplined & Responsible Learner<br />
Discipline yourself with regular log-ins, readings, and postings. This helps you keep up with material that<br />
has been posted. Incorporate into your log-in time some sort of participatory action. Regularly post<br />
comments, ask questions, and answer those questions pertaining to your contributions. Add some sense<br />
of discipline to your e-Learning life, and you will be amazed at how much you learn.<br />

#388: High Speed Eliminates The Low Bandwidth Blues<br />
You may want to take advantage of the high-speed access to the Intranet/Internet at your<br />
company by completing training from your workspace, if possible.<br />

#389: What Do Learners Say?<br />
Don't just give me a set of rules, help me understand the business drivers and consequences. Link me to the big<br />
picture. Why is this course important to to the organization, to the company? Understand my motivation.<br />

#390: Searching For Mr./Ms. Right<br />
Don't be afraid to move on quickly to other learning sites if you are not engaged immediately.<br />
There are thousands of opportunities and sifting to find one that suits you as an individual<br />
learner is possible. It is good to let the site know via a brief comment why you have left the<br />
site -- I have found that these lead to remarkable improvements in e-Learning at a future time.<br />

#391: Be A Student Too!<br />
Try to learn in the same way you ask your students to learn.<br />
