Acknowledgment

This project has required a lot of effort from
me. However, it would not have been feasible
without my lecturer, Mr. MUTHUALAGAN's,
generous support and assistance. I'd like to
express my heartfelt gratitude to him. Being

his student has been a great honor and
privilege.



I owe Mr. Muthualagan a great debt of
gratitude for his advice and persistent
supervision, as well as for giving vital
information about this specific task and for
his assistance in finishing it. His continual
advice and readiness to share his enormous
knowledge helped me to fully comprehend this
job and its manifestation, allowing me to

complete the task on time.

Overview of Learning
Strategies &Study Skills

Learning strategies are described as a learner's
behaviors aimed at influencing how the

person's brain works. Underlining essential
points in a chapter, detailing the concepts
in a lesson, or attempting to put freshly learned
material into one's thoughts are all examples
(Mayer, 1988). Many researchers agreed
that studying skills include behaviors such as
preparing for exams (Purdue & Hattie, 1999); doing
homework, doing revision, making preparations for
briefings and projects (Wagner, Schober & Spiel,
2008); using the library (Demircioglu Memis, 2007;
Purdue &Hattie, 1999); jotting down (Neri, 2007);
reading, listening, and writing (Wagner, Schober &
Spiel, 2008); reading, listening, and writing
(Demircioglu Memis, 2007). Motivation, time
management, and exam preparation stress
are three elements that are described by these
studying skills (Bay, Tugluk, & Gencdogan, 2004;
Guclu, Yldz, & Sahan, 2010; Gurung, Weidert,

& Jeske, 2010; Kartika, 2007).

What is Online Learning?

Online learning is sometimes
misinterpreted as being simpler than
conventional classroom learning. Though
the subject is the same, having a teacher
in front of pupils per week provides
structure and responsibility. The option
to engage in an online class at a suitable
time for the student is a significant
distinction between in-person and digital
training. This may also be a concern since
procrastination might lead a learner to
fall behind in an online course. Because
such resources are limited in the digital
world, it's critical that you develop your
system for organizing, managing time,

learning, and interacting.

Study Skills at the
University of Northampton




The Study Skills MOOC was inspired by the
University of Northampton's SSAS MOOC.
The SSAS free online course was intended
for all learners, although it was particularly

targeted toward first-year university
students. It was designed to assist
participants in making the shift to

university education, improving their study
skills, developing their educational

confidence, gaining a better understanding
of what is expected of them as they pursue
a degree, develop their metacognitive skills,

and improve their academic results on
coursework. The self-control and non-
credit-containing Study Skills MOOC provides
an organized area for students to practice
and strengthen their academic skills.

6 Study Skills for Online
Learning

1. Creating a study timetable
Learners who adopt a study regimen are able to handle
their workload in a timely manner and avoid rushing the
the night before an assignment or test is due, which is
an advantage of online courses.
Make time each day to concentrate on lessons.
Instead of long sessions, consider in one- to
two-hour increments. According to research, attempting
to study for lengthy periods of time without
interruption causes us to lose focus. Break up
work with regular, brief breaks. Take a little stroll,
prepare a hot drink, or snuggle with a pet.
Make a weekly timetable for each session, including the
days and hours.

2. Avoid Multitasking
More inclined to multitask if doing an extra task alone and the schedule is less

organized. Many people believe they are capable of multitasking. However,
studies reveal that only approximately 2percent of the world can multitask.
If you think you're multitasking, you're likely not... you're currently moving

between activities extremely fast (what some term "microtasking").
Consider The Magic of Monotasking when you need to learn
anything crucial.
Concentrate on just one item at a time.
Between tasks, take a rest.
Consider using the "Pomodoro technique" to help you concentrate for 25
or 50 minutes and then take 5- or 10-minute rests.

3. Video lessons



As much as possible, follow your instructor's timetable. Maintaining a
routine will give you a sense of stability and keep you from getting
behind.
Learn how to ask good questions. Is there a way to communicate
with others? Is there a place for discussion?
Distracting tabs and applications should be closed. Humans aren't
nearly as adept at multitasking as they believe!
Keep taking notes as though you were in the room with them.
Recordings should be viewed at a regular pace. According to research,
a 1.5x playback speed reduces retention and might result in poorer
test scores. For complicated, multi-step content, faster playback
rates are detrimental (which most of your lectures probably are).
Keep in mind that it's all about 1.5x. There hasn't even been any
investigation with two-fold replay speed, which is likely considerably
bad.



4. Stay connected



Because spend so little face-to-face time on campus, communicating with
family members in other forms is more vital than ever. Maintaining contact

with professors, peers, and group members is still necessary for
successful classwork. Here are a few suggestions:



Connect with classmates and study groups using services for free on
platforms like Skype, Hangouts, Zoom, or WhatsApp.
When it comes to studying groups, utilize an internet application like
Google Calendar to schedule meetings.

Make video calls to your friends and family. When you're anxious or
worried about something, talking with dear ones may be really beneficial.
It's also necessary to take a break and chuckle.

5. Study space



You will study and concentrate fully if you are in a clean, distraction-free
atmosphere.



Make sure you have the appropriate books, equipment, and devices for the
course while preparing your study environment.



Invest in a pair of headphones to hear to lectures or debates (especially
important in shared spaces).



Remove all potential sources of distraction (social media, etc.)



Get some assistance from your buddies (and family)



Don't be hesitant to use the services of friends or family members to assist
you with your exam preparation.





6. Reading what content


1. Decide where you want to read.


Think about your learning style and the best reading environment for you. What
is the maximum amount of noise you can tolerate? Is the illumination adequate?
, Consider the following three elements: location, ambiance, and distractions.
If you're in an environment that improves concentration, you'll understand more.


2. Look through the information before you read it.


Because it gives you a goal for reading, surveying the book can help you
understand the subject more quickly. To gain a feel of the text's main topics, read
the title. Examine the front and back pages, the contents page, the dictionary, and
the prologue of your textbook. When you eventually delve in, this will assist you in
digesting the content.


3. Make a list of important terms and topics.


Use a highlighter to jot down important details as you read. Keep track of key
terminology, definitions, facts, and phrases. Don't go overboard with the
highlighting; simply emphasize the material that's important. If you don't want to
use a highlighter, annotate the text instead. This entails making marginal notes and
highlighting relevant phrases.


4. Expand your lexicon


Look up any unfamiliar words that you think are important to comprehending the
text. While reading, use a glossary or a computer. Dictionary.com and Merriam-
Webster are two examples of internet reference resources.

Conclusion

Study Skills are essential techniques that
must be learned and practiced.

Good study abilities are useful in all aspects
of life, not just academics. The word "study
skills" refers to a wide variety of talents

and skills, including time management,
research, studying, writing, communication
skills, and more that have slipped my mind

at the moment.
Having strong study skills can help you
become a more confident, competent,
productive, and intelligent individual in both
