LearntoLearn Online Courses
LearntoLearn online courses offer a flexible, self-paced solution to addressing study skills needs. Students, Parents and Educators can complete self-guided lessons or work with a study skills coach to progress through lessons.  In all cases, lessons can be preceded by a study skills diagnostic survey that can help assess your study habits. From there, users can explore resources and complete lessons unassisted or enlist the aid of a coach who can provide guidance and feedback.
   

Study Skills Diagnostic

The study skills diagnostic survey asks a series of questions regarding your knowledge, application and attitude towards various aspects of study.  Results are generated in a chart form and reviewed by a trained LearntoLearn instructor who suggests initial lessons that are likely to have the most immediate benefit. 

Set Your Own Pace Whether you are working solo or with a coach, you can proceed at your own pace. Changing one's study habits takes time.  In the course of a school year, a student needs to focus on immediate concerns (like upcoming tests).  To improve one's habits during the school year, it generally works best to make a series of smaller changes that lead to a cumulative effect over time.  In summer time, students can often progress at a faster, more concentrated pace that also allows time for reflection and forethought.  Most standard enrollments last a full year, allowing time for initial changes to sink in before continuing to other skills. In other words, we want to allow students to take a tip or two and allow them time to apply it without trying to overload them to too much information.
Coached Courses A study skills coach can provide tips and feedback based on the personal needs and feedback of each student. With a coach, a student can receive specific information, advice and explanations that cannot be fully provided in the lessons alone.  Coaching starts with a the diagnostic survey and develops into a conversation about the student's needs. For example, the course will suggest initial lessons for the student, but the student chooses the first lesson.  After completion at the student's own pace, the student can complete a simple feedback form that helps the coach discern the next step. From there, the coach can provide further details on the completed lesson, help monitor the student's ability to apply the skill, or guide the student to another lesson lesson if ready. 
Self-led Courses Self-led online courses are for students and parents who want to login, browse and complete lessons at their own discretion without any assistance. A student can upgrade to a coached course at any time.
