For many people, one of the discouraging things about joining online programs
is the need for a home classroom. The problem is twofold when you do
not have enough space for it. However, here are a few useful ideas that
can help you create a structured study area, notwithstanding lack of
free space.
Spread the learning area all through the house
If it’s hard for you to find a dedicated area for study in your house, consider studying in different areas of the house. You can easily set up a desk in your bedroom, while the computer can be set up in the living room. Dining area can do double duty as workstation.
Using different learning areas can be extremely helpful as it can lead to change in the scenery, making it less monotonous. It is also a great idea to buy a laptop (which can be easily moved around) instead of a desktop if you are tight on space.
Convert unused closet area into a learning area
If you do not have an extra room for use as a home classroom, try exploiting unused closet areas. There are several online tutorials on how to convert your closet into a study room. It is a great way of organizing your study stuff.
Build and organize your own desk
In case you have only a small area you can allot for a learning space, say a hallway or a corner of the living room, you can build your desk and customize it to suit your requirement. There are again many online tutorials on how to build and customize your desk to suit your needs within the space available.
You can also plan to build or buy a Murphy desk, which makes for a great and compact workspace. You can fold up or down the desk when you need it, and can make it fade into the wall when there is no use for it. Murphy desks are extremely useful and easy to fit in any space.
Give your supplies a place of their own
Whether it’s a big plastic bin, a bookcase, a closet, or a drawer, give specific places to your supplies. A great idea is to keep similar items together – pencils and crayons in one container, and so on.
This helps in keeping all the mess to a minimum. There are numerous stationery items you can use for keeping your stuff organized, including wicker baskets, mason jars, file folders, crate seats, ring binders, and more.
Online learning can be great fun and enjoyable if you are attuned to it that way. Make sure you take your program seriously and give yourself the environment that facilitates you to sit down and study. There cannot be an excuse like a small space for study.
With so many tools available in the market, you can easily build your own nook at the most reasonable prices. Moreover, if you have small children, they too can use this study area for homework.
