Tutor.com, but make it webinars
Tutor.com, with its fancy new interface that dropped back in August, offers all the good stuff we’re used to: live homework help, quizzes and mini-courses, job and career help, test prep, and more!
But did you know that they also offer webinars to enhance a variety of other skills that can help build a successful learning journey?
It’s a big challenge for students to focus their attention these days; there are a lot of technological distractions designed to grab a click or invite them to scroll or lead them down a Wikipedia rabbit hole (I’m looking at you, Hyperborea!). While a little clicking and scrolling isn’t bad for you, it can quickly get in the way of healthy study and concentration habits. How can we support learners in managing these seemingly irresistible internet temptations, and help form long-lasting study and work habits that can inform their education and beyond?
We’ve all heard the phrase “time management,” and it’s still an important skill. But today, our world is built around distractions, notifications, and updates that can break an attention span and lead to a loss in productivity and quality of work. Yes, I’m talking about “attention management.”
Tutor.com is here to help! They’re offering Student Success: Time and Attention Management, a quick webinar as part of their Student Success series. You, your learners, or your learners’ caregivers can register here for the October 22 session. It starts at 4pm and is free! It’s part of a three-session series they’re providing from October – December. You can check out the line up here. If you can’t make the dates, you can still register and receive the recorded webinars in your inbox.
In fact, there is a whole world of Princeton Review-Tutor.com based webinars for learners and educators! Look around and tell me if you find something you like!
