This week in EDCI 336, we learned about distributed learning. Distributed learning means that students and instructors can be in different non-centralized places but still engage in the same instructional material. Like many this past year, I have transitioned to full online model of learning. During class, we headed into breakout rooms to discuss what we think are the positive and negative aspects of online learning. Personally, one pro for me is that I have much more time on my hands to get assignments done. But, at the same time, this can be a con because I find it difficult to decipher how much time to spend on school and how much time to take to myself.
Some strategies that I have taken to help me through online learning are:
- Making a checklist of things I want to get done everyday and stopping ice I have finished
- Planning out my day so that I have time to do a workout or go for a walk
- Eat meals without any technology in front of me and use it as a break
