How to Study via Distance Learning

Don’t stress! Studying via distance learning is pretty straightforward. Once you get into the swing of things, you’ll be able to complete your courses with ease. Below are our helpful tips on how to study via distance learning.

Create a Study Schedule

Just let the learning begin, right? Well it’s not really that simple. If you fail to plan, you’ll be setting yourself up for disaster. So create a study schedule which details when you will hit your books. Remember to add exam dates as well as study breaks to your schedule.

Read Through all Your Study Material

We know you want to get a headstart on your assignments. But before you begin, read through all your study material. You will know what to expect after reading through the learning outcomes. You’ll also be able to determine how long you’ll take with each assignment. 

Complete Your Self-Assessment in the Study Guide

Along with your first batch of course material, you will find a self-assessment to complete in the study guide. This will help you ease into your work, and get an idea of how to answer assignment questions. Once completed, you can send this to your tutor.

Understand Concepts Before Completing Assignments

Without a proper understanding of your resources, you won’t be able to successfully do your work. So make sure you understand the concepts before you start. Make notes of concepts and ideas to focus on. Study the concepts along with the outcomes to know what is expected of you. 

Complete Your Assignments

Feel like you have a good understanding of your material? Now you can start with your assignments. Read carefully through all of the questions to answer them correctly. Check your answers and make sure you haven’t skipped any sections.

Submit Your Work

Now that your work is done and dusted, submit your work to us. Upload your assignments and your work will be marked. If you fail your assignment, don’t stress. You can redo your failed assignment and submit your updated assignment back to us.

Study for Your Exam

For some of our courses, like matric, you will be writing external exams. As you complete your assignment, make sure that you study your work as you go along. You’ll be familiar with the concepts when you study. This gives you a chance to revise without cramming for the exam.

Be Motivated

Since you won’t have a teacher to stand in front of you, you need to be disciplined and independent. You will need to be your biggest motivator to encourage yourself to study and complete your work.
