Keep to a Schedule

Whether you’re attending or teaching live-streamed classes remotely or watching or creating recordings, it can be useful to make a daily schedule for yourself and stick to it. Even as you set and achieve weekly goals, try dividing your day into 30- and 60-minute increments with specific activities. And don’t forget to give yourself time for breaks to eat, exercise, and socialize, just as if you were on campus.

Communicate

This is a new environment for everyone. Because you’re not meeting face-to-face, others might not recognize when you’re struggling – and those you’re working with might need the same thing! So when you realize that you need something, don't hesitate: reach out to your colleagues, instructors and/or peers. And for technology issues, get in touch with technical support.

To further assist your remote experience, we have collected additional materials on the technology involved, tips for effective remote teaching, learning and working, and ways to get help if the technology becomes a challenge.
