Still Learning After All These Years (& So You Should Be!)
#392: Three "C's" = One "A"
In E- learning, assume you are attending a daily classroom training.
And you have to have 3 Cs: Choose, Commit and Complete the course.

#393: Schedule Training Like Exercise
It is easy to place training on the backburner if it is not schedule it into your day. Schedule it and you will
accomplish it. Learn in a comfortable place, at a comfortable pace. Then use your knowledge immediately
to accomplish a new task or project and inform your boss of your accomplishment.

#394: The Longest/Shortest Hour
One hour of course duration does not necessarily mean one hour to complete the learning - it
may take more time, it should take less time.

#395: Copying Others Is The Highest Form Of Flattery (Or Something Like That)
When moving into this realm of e-Learning, take as many different e-Learning sessions yourself as your budget
allows. You'll see how to, and how not to, do things--visually, verbally, software and platform selection, etc.

#396: Rejuvenate Yourself By Taking Breaks
Taking time away from an online course allows you to have a fresh start next time you return. Breathe deeply,
get a snack, stretch, talk with a collegue, or move to another task and return to the course later.

#397: Small, Fast and Accessible - Up To YOU
A time of need is the best opportunity for learning to stick. For example, if you have a bad conversation with
a colleague that you know could have gone better, you're probably upset. Instead of complaining at break
and furthering the deterioration of the relationship, wouldn't it be nice to go to your "learning area" on-line
and search for "difficult conversations" only to find a 10 minute video course? The alternative is to wait for a
leadership program to come around 3 months later, hope you get nominated or it can fit into your schedule.
That 10 minute course, if you effectively apply the knowledge (a decision that learning can't force), pays
more dividends than any 2 hour course ever could simply due to it's proximity to the need.

#398: Set Yourself Up For No Interruptions
When learning, be sure to close down other programs, especially those running in the background, since
they may slow down or disrupt your e-Learning session. Then find a quiet time and/or place away from
your work environment if possible in order to be able to concentrate and respond without interruptions.

#399: Ask - It Is OK!
Seek clarity in any instruction you receive rather than just "think" you know what you are doing.
What you lose in face-to-face contact does not have to be lost forever. It's always easy to freely
ask someone "Can I just check what you mean by ...".
