During COVID-19, we are all working and learning online, for our courses—assignments and tests. The pivot to online has been stressful for students, many already experiencing anxiety and stress from the pressures from their studies. COVID-19 has increased student stress making studying at home challenging with many students not having done online learning. In this webinar, we’ll discuss easy to implement ideas for how to make this transition more easeful and satisfying in this new learning environment. You’ll hear both practical tips and perspectives on how to make your time online learning less stressful and more productive.
