Self-directed learning is different than regular classroom instruction. It takes more self discipline, dedication, and planning to stay on track. Here are a few simple steps to helpmake the most of your experience:
Decide which modules you are going to complete. Using the 101 Basics Series
Planning Chart , take a moment now to select the modules you will complete -assign an order. Set completion goals by planning your target start and completion dates. Pick a time and place to read. You may need to set aside 3 to 6 hours per module. Study with a group or a partner. Put up a poster that outlines each of your plans,
and check off the modules as they are completed. Hold discussion sessions wheneveryone completes a specific module. Quiz each other on the review questions.
Teach someone else what you've learned. You retain information longer whenyou teach it. This forces you to more fully understand and internalize theinformation. It will also make you aware of areas you may want to review.
