31st December 2019 the clock struck midnight and 2020 had begun. Little did we know what was ahead of us and how much the world was going to change in the next few months. A few months ago we were not afraid to go outside and enjoy all that is on offer, but now we are looking at being in isolation and practicing social distancing. What does this mean? That we have to adapt and look at things from a different angle.
Isolation can lead to panic and anxiety which is not good for anyone. Its important that we look after ourselves and find ways to keep our minds occupied. If you find yourself in isolation it maybe the best time to learn a new skill via online courses. Online learning is a great way to occupy yourself and keep your mind active.
There is no limit to what you can learn online and how many online courses you can take. You might like to use this time to do a national recognised qualification like childcare or disabilit. Most training organisations and TAFES have online learning for their courses. Some of these courses may have a placement component, but you can always do that at a later stage. If you fit the criteria you may even be eligible for Government funding. Imagine getting qualified while is isolation, what a great way to use your time!
If you just want to learn a new skill why not jump on to Udemy and search their course marketplace. Thousands of teachers have taken their courses and made them into an online course.You can learn anything from yoga to book keeping and more. The skill you learn now, could help you and your family well into the future.
Maybe you have a special skill of your own that you would like to teach to others. You could create your own online course and sell it. It’s so easy to make your own online course with so many easy to use course creation platforms around. I use Thinkfic for my courses as its easy to use. You can upload videos, transcripts and a whole lot more. Best bit about online courses is that they are fun to make and anyone can do it. So next time you find yourself wondering what to do with your time, look into the world of online courses. You not only will earn a new and valuable skill, but you might also discover a new and fun way to create your own online business.
