Get Ready for Online Learning

 

Personal Skills for Success in Online Learning

 

The first questions on the Ontario Learn Assessment ask whether you are a skilled reader at ease with written instructions and whether you are a self-directed learner with good time management and organizational skills. If you answered no to any of these questions, there is a lot you can do to improve your skills in these areas.

Have you visited the Student Affairs department at your campus?


You will be amazed at the services they can offer you. Below we have listed two services they offer that can help prepare you for success in online learning.

 

 

Visit A Learning Centre at GBC!

 

 

The Tutoring & Learning Centres (TLC) at George Brown provide tutors that can help you review and practice math and English skills. The TLC offers one-on-one sessions and small group sessions. To take advantage of the TLC, you will be asked to sign up and take an orientation session.
