TIPS FOR STUDYING REMOTELY A helpful guide which explains how to study and revise remotely and effectively. With thanks to CIT Library https://library.cit.ie
YOUR STUDY SPACE Many students would normally find themselves studying in one of CIT’s campus libraries in the run up to exams. Unfortunately, this isn’t an option this year. As a result, it’s important that you identify a suitable place to study while you’re at home. If you’re fortunate enough to have a desk, that’s great, but any work-surface such as a kitchen table, counter space or even an ironing board or your bed – any space where you can sit comfortably and take notes - will also be fine. The important thing is that your space works for you. It might also be a good idea to let the rest of the people you are living with know that this is your personal
“
Do your best to keep this study space as clean and as orderly as you can. Keeping your space organized can help create a clear mind and help you be more effective when studying. But don’t worry if that is not case. Keep all the things that you need for study close at hand. This way you won’t waste valuable time looking for such items as books, study notes, your laptop or stationery.
Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.
Studying remotely places different demands on you in terms of what you need to do your work. Before you begin to work do a quick check and ensure that you have the necessary tools for remote study: 1. A device to work on e.g. computer, laptop or tablet. 2. A reliable internet connection. 3. The right software to complete your assignments. If you don’t have these tools, contact your lecturers to see if alternative arrangements can be made for you. The CIT Covid 19 Support Portal also provides some excellent and in many cases essential resources for online learning, these can be viewed here... https://covid19.cit.ie
