Educators have long noted that one of the best ways to learn something is to teach it to someone else. Remember your seventh-grade presentation on Costa Rica? By teaching to the rest of the class, your teacher hoped you would gain even more from the assignment. You can apply the same principle today by sharing your newly learned skills and knowledge with others.
Start by translating the information into your own words. This process alone helps solidify new knowledge in your brain. Next, find some way to share what you’ve learned. Some ideas include writing a blog post, creating a podcast or participating in a group discussion.

You can boost the positive and minimize the negative when you know your own learning strengths, weaknesses and habits. Pick an online learning format and study game plan that is best suited for you. If you know you tend to procrastinate, make sure you establish a solid study routine that will keep you on task. If you’re inclined towards written communication and verbal exchange, the methods of most online education classes will already be well matched to your learning style.
It also may be helpful to take an interactive learning assessment quiz for insight in to how your brain prefers to gather and process experiences and information. By understanding your own personal styles, you can adapt the learning process and techniques you use for the online environment.
