It’s pretty easy not to take online learning seriously. With more students engaging in distance learning during the pandemic, it’s become the “new norm”—which may mean letting your guard down in terms of your classwork!

Worse, online learning presents the same changes as ever: a less rigid schedule, less oversight, and more freedom. These changes can be good or bad, of course, but it all depends on what you make of them. Education at Home: Do’s and don’ts of online learning

Fortunately, a few simple remote learning tips can help you stay on top of your coursework with less stress. If you’re struggling to keep up with the change in teaching styles, check out our top tips for remote learning at home.

1. Establish a Routine

Most remote learning opportunities are adapting to the pandemic in various ways, but the end result may be that your schedule looks different than it used to. And with professors sending recorded lessons or asking for forum participation only, you may not even always need to interact with others in real-time!

This is why it’s important to create a routine to keep productive. Choose a time of day to tackle your classwork, and make sure to stick to the habit. This keeps your mind primed for schoolwork, and it also sets a clear “do not disturb” boundary for family members or roommates during these hours. 6 Strategies For Strengthening Student Engagement in Online Learning

2. Designate a Study Space

It’s tempting to do all your work slumped on the sofa, but this may not be the most productive choice.

Instead, set up a desk area away from household distractions. This can help you focus on your studies and get into the habit of leaving leisure behind when you’re there. Your GPA—and your back—will thank you. 8 Ways EdTech Improves Learning

3. Hack Your Productivity

With plenty of online resources to make studying easier, there’s no reason not to take advantage of the tools available to you! From helpful study apps to organize your thoughts to online Pomodoro timers to balance your workday, you’ll find endless opportunities to expand the way you learn. Experiment to see what works best to supplement your learning style!

4. Socialize With Purpose

Here’s one of the online learning tips many people forget: staying connected is still important. Technology makes it easy for us to communicate online, but it doesn’t always make it easy to connect with peers in the same ways we would in person.

Whenever possible, take opportunities for productive socialization. For example, try roping some of your classmates into a video study session to get ahead with your homework while staying engaged.

5. Take Care of Yourself

Online learning can present new challenges, and isolation from classmates and social opportunities can be hard. Though your classwork is important, it’s just as important to care for yourself to keep from burning out.

Make sure to establish a wellness routine that includes regular exercise and eight hours of sleep. Experiment to see what mental health habits work best for you, from morning meditation to yoga during study breaks to a walk in the park when you’re done.

Make These Remote Learning Tips Work for You

As with any advice, you’ll need to play around with these remote learning tips to decide how to make them fit into your lifestyle. However, this must-know advice can help you make the most of your transition to online learning. Stay positive, and put these tips to work!

Assam Education Minister Ranoj Pegu Exposes Fake Twitter Account Spreading Rumors on Exam Results, Shares Screen Shot On Social Media

It was another case of fake news in which a rumor spread that the results of Assam Higher Secondary exams had been released. The fake news spread quickly, requiring the intervention of Assam’s Education Minister, Ranoj Pegu, who exposed the details of a fake Twitter account spreading rumors about exam results.

On Friday, Assam’s Education Minister, Ranoj Pegu, took to social media to debunk the fake news that the Secondary Exams results of Assam had been released. The Minister clarified that the Board of Secondary Education, Assam (SEBA) and Assam Higher Secondary Education Council (AHSEC) are responsible for declaring the exam results, and they will be declared according to their predetermined schedule.

Additionally, Minister Ranoj Pegu shared screenshots of the fake Twitter account bearing his name and allegedly spreading false news about the announcement of results for the HSLC & HS Examination, 2024. The screenshots revealed that miscreants had attempted to spread the fake news that the results of the Secondary Exams would be declared on Saturday, April 20, 2024.

Minister Ranoj Pegu also clarified that the claims were entirely false and once again exposed how easily such false information can spread on social media. This underscores the need for readers to remain vigilant and verify information from credible sources.

SEBA and AHSEC are tasked with conducting the Class 10 and Class 12 exams, respectively. The Class 10 matric exams concluded on March 4, and the Class 12 higher secondary exams concluded on March 13. In 2023, the Assam board Class 10 results were declared on May 22, and Class 12 HS results on June 16. The results will be made available on the official websites of the board — sebaonline.org, resultsassam.nic.in, and ahsec.assam.gov.in.

Last year, the pass percentage for Class 10 was 72.69 percent. The pass percentage for the Class 12 Arts stream was 70.12 percent, 79.57 percent for the Commerce stream, and 84.96 percent in the Science stream.

The Assam Board of Secondary Education is expected to release the Assam Board 10th Result 2024 during the first week of May 2024. However, no official announcement has been issued by the Assam Board yet.

NASA Providing Internship Opportunities: Check Last Date To Apply, Eligibility Criteria, and Other Details

The legendary National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA, is currently looking to appoint interns!

The Fall 2024 Internship Session is currently being opened by the leading space agency and inviting applications from interested individuals, reported NASA.

Interested candidates and students can apply for the internship provided by NASA on intern.nasa.gov., their official website.

NASA’s Office of STEM Engagement on an annual basis accepts enrollment of over 2,000 students via this opportunity.

Under NASA’s pathways programme, recent graduates and students are allowed to apply for “paid internships that are direct pipelines to full-time employment at NASA”.

NASA provides internship opportunities for non-STEM students as well.

Even a virtual "launch" can get scrubbed. 🙅‍♀️

Our fall 2024 internship applications are extended until Friday, Apr. 12 and will close at 11:59 p.m. ET.

Apply: https://t.co/pUmAlqhkvB https://t.co/tzBpQH9sXc— NASA Internships (@NASAInterns) April 5, 2024

The leading space agency announced,

“A common misconception is that NASA only offers engineering internships. Please know that we have opportunities for students who are not majoring in engineering. NASA needs employees with a variety of knowledge and skills. At NASA, our engineers, mathematicians, scientists, accountants, writers, IT specialists, project managers, program analysts, and many other professionals work together to break barriers to achieve the seemingly impossible.”

NASA further added,

“Non-engineering interns may support a variety of business and program management work, including procurement, budgeting, accounting, information technology, and security.”

Eligibility Criteria of NASA Internship

The eligibility criteria for the internship is also an important factor to be taken care of. To apply for the internship, candidates must hold US citizenship and have a minimum GPA from 3.0 to 4.0 on a scale of five.

Candidates of 16 years or older can apply for the internship. The last date to fill up the application form for NASA’s internship programme is April 12, 2024.
