Successful Online Learning

One of the most critical things for students and parents to know about online learning is that planning for online learning is almost as important as what students do every day in the course. Students who do not thoughtfully plan out "why, when, where and how" to learn online will tend to do more poorly in the unstructured environment of an online course.

Please see the 5 video modules below for information and strategies for successful online learning. The entire video AND the slideshow without video are available at the bottom of this page. In addition, our website for "Academic Success Skills" contains a page with Online Learning Tips.

Each student will need to complete a BRVGS Online Learning Plan and Contract for the 2020-21 school year. Parents and students will receive information regarding the requirements for that plan as school begins, but are recommended to begin thinking about planning for successful online learning between now and the start of the school year. You can see the template for the Online Learning Plan by clicking here, and students can make their own copy by clicking on "File" at the upper left of the Plan doc, and then on "Make a Copy."

If you do make your own copy, please rename it by adding your name at the end of the doc, so it is titled like this: "BRVGS Student/Parent Online Learning Plan Jane Smith."
