Good Effects of Distance Learning
1. Metacognition: Nurturing Self-Awareness of the Students

Tips:
- Teach students how their brains are wired for growth.
- Give students practice recognizing what they don't understand.
- Have students keep learning journals. Encourage creative expression through whatever journal formats work best for learners, including mind maps, blogs, wikis, diaries and etc.
2. Learn/ Study on Your Own Schedule
- Students now have the freedom to pick and choose their schedule. They are able to learn at their own pace in a relaxed environment. Students who learn better in the morning after a good night’s sleep may choose to tackle their harder subjects right when they wake up. Students who are night owls may prefer to wait until later in the day, once they’ve fully woken up and are at full mental capacity.
Tips
- Schedule your study time properly.
- Know how can you maintain a good study habit.
3. Time management Skills
- It is essential for succeeding in online schooling. These skills are essential in every aspect of life, from maintaining work-life balance to completing projects before due dates. Students who had otherwise busy schedules now have much more time available to them due to the closing of school activities. Distance learning forces a student to understand the best ways they learn and implement those ways at the best times.
Tips:
- You must be able to efficiently control your time in order to prevent problems when it comes to learning.
