6. Join learning communities.

    第六步：加入學習社區

    The “loneliness of the distance learner” is a thing of the past. Join a learning community on the web， where members share their knowledge and experience. Search for the communities that suit your interests and learning style. You will find encouragement， advice and stimulus from fellow learners， as well as from tutors， teachers and coaches. In these communities， you can measure your progress against your own goals， or compare your experience with that of other learners. You can even teach and help others， which is a great way to learn.

    “遠程教育是孤獨的”概念已經成為過去。現在你可以加入一個網絡學習社區，和大家一起分享知識與經驗。找一個符合你興趣和學習方式的社區。在那里你可以從其他學習者身上找到鼓勵、建議和動力，同時也有導師、老師和教練給你提供支持。在這些社區中，你能更好地檢驗自己的學習進度、也可以和其他學習者競爭。甚至，你還可以教授或幫助其他人，這的確是一個學習的好方法！
