Hi all, after almost a decade in software engineering I decided to have some more fun and enrolled in a distance learning programme (undergrad, Physics).

Brick unis have a lot of useful group dynamics to support the fun of learning (group discussions, jokes, etc). Of course remote learning will not give that by default, they mostly provide "books and tasks".

My question is: how do you make the process of distance learning fun? What works for you?

How to think? What questions to ask before reading a chapter to ensure I really understand the concepts? How to ask other people for help?

PS. If distance learning doesn't work for you - well. :-) It doesn't work for many. But I'd like to find the "meta-learning" techniques and approaches that help.

Thank you very much.
