Online programs are an essential part of the learning landscape today. But university students, digital natives, seasoned professionals and highly-motivated learners can still struggle — they may not remember what they read, become easily distracted or just give up. Download this webinar with Dr. Barbara Oakley—instructor of some of the most popular online courses of all time—and her co-instructor, educational coach Olav Schewe, as they discuss their new course on edX: Learn Like A Pro.
