UniSA staff and student volunteers are currently telephoning UniSA students, wherever they are in the world, to check that they are doing well and have the support they need. If you do receive a call from UniSA, it’s just to check on how you are, and to let you know about UniSA information and resources.
At the start of the call we will ask some questions to check that we have called the right person. If you are unsure about a call that you receive from UniSA, you can contact Campus Central. |

Tips from a student: how to keep on top of isolation study and online learning
|
|
Studying from home is a very different routine to what many of us are used to. We can often feel unmotivated to study when we don’t have classes to attend or feel a bit down about being in self-isolation.
To help get over this slump, I create a schedule stating when I will have my assignments done by, and stick to that, all while allowing myself to socialise and break up my study.
When I am unmotivated to study, I use many different online resources to help change out of my regular repetitive study routine.
One
of the resources I have used is the An@tomedia (anatomy study) program. This resource and many others like it, is great for home learning because you still get to see with your own eyes the different features you would in class, just from a virtual perspective.
You can test your knowledge with quizzes, which can be helpful for preparing for upcoming assignments, tests and exams.
Studying in a different and creative way can help you motivate and develop good study habits in isolation; allowing study to be fun and enjoyable.
Try not to get down about being in isolation and find the positives, that attitude will then be reflected in your study and how well you approach it.

Mindfulness practices and resources
|
|
As we continue to adapt to our current way of living, it is important for us to stay calm and productive. Despite the challenges, it is also the ideal time to develop personal habits that can gently help you stay focused on your studies and achieve your future goals.
Mindfulness is an effective technique to assist in reducing your stress level and increasing your concentration. A daily practice of mindfulness will help you stay calm, connected and concentrate on what matters.
UniSA’s Counselling team has compiled a range of mindfulness resources and practices for you to try, including mindful living, mindful breathing, mindful walking, sensing your environment and loving-kindness. You can also access mindfulness apps which you can easily download on your phone. |
