Knowledge has become within the reach of many people, at least those who have an Internet connection. The click of a button on the computer opens up prospects for knowledge from whom our fathers used to hit their livers, moving to public libraries that were sometimes located in a city other than the one in which the individual resides.

By self-education, it is intended to develop your knowledge and skills without attending an educational institution so that you are the one who sets your goal, plan and time for learning, and sometimes you can use the guidance of some supervisors and trainers, as is the case in training courses available on the Internet, but the major task lies on your shoulders all the time. Is self learning important? Although obtaining knowledge has become easy, this has made competition more intense among peers, and therefore the expansion of knowledge acquisition has become a necessary thing and not a luxury as it was often before, and you must enrich your knowledge in your field of specialization, and in the fields related to it as well and in the fields of Other, but this does not mean perfect mastery of everything, this is a matter of imagination, but the goal is to fully master your specialization and then become familiar with the knowledge related to it or other topics that appeal to you.

• What are the advantages of self-education?

1. Flexibility. You can manage your time on your own according to your work, studies, family, or other things, as you are the one who determines the speed and amount of learning.

2. Self-confidence You will be surprised that your ability to acquire knowledge without guidance from anyone will enhance your self-confidence and self-esteem.

3. Growing Curiosity Self-learning broadens your perceptions all the time and increases your curiosity about the environment around you. You may find yourself reading about a topic that has nothing to do with your specialization except curiosity, and this makes you able to relate various things to each other.

How can I learn to self?

1. Motivation Before embarking on any task, you must be a catalyst for its performance, and this applies to self-learning as well. Without an incentive, you will find yourself unable to continue and you will regress from your progress quickly in the beginning. For example, if you are learning a language, make your incentive to travel, communicate with other people, increase your job opportunities, raise your salary, etc.

2. Developing a plan does not mean that you learn by yourself outside of regular study that it is random. You must develop a plan for the study with time and goal, and if the goal takes months or years, you can divide it into small goals. For example, you can divide language learning into rapid tourist communication, such as talking to a restaurant waiter, flight attendant, or salesperson, then understanding written texts in general, then well-understood, then writing.

3. Stick to the plan! Making plans is easy, but difficult to stick to. Expect that you will find many obstacles, some of which are involuntary, such as being busy with work, studies, or family matters. Stick to a self-learning plan as much as possible while keeping in mind other responsibilities and obligations, and you can always learn about successful time management techniques that allow you to devote enough time to the self-learning process.

4. Measuring success from time to time, measure the extent of what you have achieved. For example, if you are learning a skill or a language, test the degree of your mastery of it. Measuring success is important, and many may overlook it.

What are the self-education platforms? The Internet is replete with hundreds of online platforms in hundreds of languages, and the available online courses have been called MOOCs, Massive Open Online Courses, or the massive open online courses. One of the most important Arab self-learning platforms is to understand the awareness of BIM's skill. We study and from the most important foreign platforms in English, bearing in mind that some of the materials in them may be translated into Arabic and other languages, one or both of them.

The Open University Everesti Allison Open Learning Coursera Udasti Edex EducationKart Khan Academy How do I benefit from self-learning platforms? We offer self-learning platforms on the Internet, a tremendous treasure in various fields and disciplines, and the coordination of the training course is by announcing the site management about it with a sufficient period of time. Read about the training course and the coach's or coaches' CVs, and subscribe to it if you think it is right for you. If you are confused about whether or not to subscribe, you can ask your colleagues or the Internet community about the quality of the course or instructors, but often the management of these platforms is very selective of the trainers and the training material. Note that the cycle usually lasts about a month or two.

With each training session there is a forum to interact with the trainer and other trainees. Take advantage of this space to share homework solutions and see what others have accomplished, and most importantly, follow up with the trainer if you do not understand one of the points well. Start by recording your notes in your journal, since some sites may not provide the course content after its completion or provide it for a fee, such as the Journalism Courses website, which deals with training courses in journalism. You can also get a certificate for a fee for the most part, for example, Coursera provides a certificate of about $ 50, while attending the course itself is completely free. Be aware that the fact that the courses are conducted on the Internet, this does not affect their scientific weight in anything, as the trainers are often the best academic professors or senior professionals, so take the opportunity and learn from them.
