Hey @abbas143official Definitely chunking it. I find that my mind can wander during online classes after a day of work. Becoming familiar with the syllabus and objectives, then scheduling 1 or 2 modules to nail. Focuses my learning and productivity.

@tim_ep1 as an educational consultant I tell all our participants to do this. Blocking time in our calendar is really important, otherwise it will just hang over you and never get done.

The problem is that it depends on a few factors. Your ability to emerse yourself by taking and reserving the time and being able to focus. The quality of the course. If the course is wasting too much time on things that are already clear or is too difficult and doesn't explain enough you will quit for good reason. For me it is always about learning what I need. I don't usually take all of an online course where I can watch anything at any time. I find that effective and don't mind not finishing everything of that course. That's why I prefer cheaper prerecorded video courses where they make money with having a lot of students. This way I can ditch the course and not have wasted too much money or just pick the knowledge and skills I need.

If you find any, do share with me, because I have always struggled with this, i once completed a 3month course in six month due to not taking classes for some days.

@jaxon_smith3 hey I'm one of the founders behind Sutra and this is exactly the problem we're solving for. Curious what you think about our launch today which is all about conversational learning experiences, which from what we've seen so far exponentially increases completion and engagement https://www.producthunt.com/post...

I think you can set up a stage node for the course, in which you set up some links to summarize what you've learned at this stage, and if the user completes it well then they'll get some points, and if they complete it poorly they can let the user choose whether or not they want to re-learn it.
