    Learning Online with FutureLearn

    Learning online can be a rich and rewarding experience. You are a member of a self-selecting
    community, finding out more about a topic area of your choice with like-minded individuals. You might
    find yourself learning alongside people from another part of your city, or country, or even another part
    of the world. The opportunities for sharing ideas, reflecting on your current understanding and
    engaging in social learning are waiting for you. Here are our top tips for learning online with
    FutureLearn.

    Be considerate
    FutureLearn courses attract learners from all over the world, from diverse backgrounds and learning
    for a variety of reasons. It’s important to remember that your fellow learners might have different life
    and educational experiences and perspectives on what is being taught in the course. Individuals will
    approach problems and ideas in different ways, and may have a variety of strategies for figuring out
    meaning or engaging with course content. Keeping an open mind and being considerate in
    discussions with others is a great way to deepen your understanding by exploring other perspectives.

    Be communicative
    We learn best when we learn together, and FutureLearn is built on the concept of social learning. The
    course you’re enrolled on is your opportunity to communicate and share with people from all over the
    world, so don’t be afraid to jump right in. Throughout the course you’ll see prompts from your course
    educators giving you ideas to think about or questions to consider based on course content. These
    can help you frame your response to a step but of course you should feel free to get the conversation
    going in any way you wish. In addition to commenting, don’t forget that you can reply to others’
    comments, as well as showing your appreciation by liking or following other learners and educators.

    Be in control
    FutureLearn courses are designed to be worked through in a particular order, but sometimes you
    might wish to replay videos and audio, skip back and forwards to different parts in the course, or
    revisit the conversations happening. You are in control of when you are finished with a step, and you

    can indicate as such by selecting ‘mark as complete’, allowing you to easily keep track of how you
    are progressing through the course. Don’t worry if you didn’t get everything done in one week – you
    can catch up later and organise your learning time in a way that suits you and your life.

    Find a schedule that works for you


    If you’re busy juggling work, life and study, see if you can put aside time each week to focus on
    online study. It might be first thing in the morning while you’re fresh, it might be before a meal or after
    the rest of the family have gone to bed. If your employer allows it, look to block out time in your
    calendar dedicated to study.

    Take time to reflect


    Apart from the time spent on the course steps and doing supplementary study, it’s good to spend
    time thinking about what you have achieved, reflecting on how you might apply your learning, and
    setting goals for the future. You can keep a learning journal either in a notebook or on a device to
    record achievements and motivate yourself to learn more.
