Studying online is different from sitting in a classroom. Nobody rings a bell, so you need your own routine. Choose fixed times each week and tell your family that this time is for your course.
Break each course into small goals, such as one lesson a day. Tick them off as you go. If data is tight, download lessons on Wi-Fi and watch them later.
Finishing one lesson today is worth more than planning ten for next week. Megan Fourie, Instructor Support ManagerAsk your instructor questions when you get stuck. Most of ours reply within a day, and a quick answer often saves you hours of frustration.
How to stay on track every week
Set a fixed study time and protect it. Switch off notifications, keep your phone charged and have water nearby. Even 30 focused minutes a day adds up to a finished course within a month or two.
What to do when you fall behind
Do not quit. Go back to the last lesson you understood and carry on from there. Message your instructor, join the course discussion and ask for help. Everyone gets stuck sometimes.

Helpful read for teachers. The tips on planning lessons and recording them at home are practical, and I will share this with my colleagues in Fourways.
