Generally, for online courses I would say three things. Firstly, take notes of the key topics that you think are interesting or useful, and then investigate and further your knowledge of those topics with extracurricular content, whether it’s through blogs or other courses. Also, if you took a course and it’s good, watch or do it again. Repetition is how you remember the content so you can actually use it in your daily life. Very often we’ll watch courses and they’re long and advanced and it’s so much information that you can’t really practically implement it because you don’t remember it well enough, so watch it twice. The third thing I would advise is that there’s so much content out there, so much of it is good but also so much of it is bad. Try to figure out from the first 15 to 30 minutes of watching a course whether or not this is going to be high quality because you don’t want to be 12 hours in and realise that you’ve wasted the last 12 hours.
