It's been a couple of weeks since schools and universities across the province have closed due to COVID-19, and switching over to digital courses has been a challenge for many. Students across the province are adjusting to working from home, and all of the distractions that come along with it.

University of Regina student Chloe Gill recently moved back home to continue her studies.

"Three of my classes have moved to online classes, one of them ended up being the pass/fail right away as it was an art class. My one online is through Zoom and that's changed 100% how I'm learning because we only have a forty-minute meeting and then she gives us a bunch of papers, instead of continuously interacting as we normally would."

Gill says working from home has basically changed everything.

"For one, I lived on campus at the time so just being on campus and being able to have that access to all my professors right away was a lot more helpful, and being in a classroom setting I find a lot easier to learn in. Whereas at home I have the distraction of siblings and my mom also works from home, so it's a bit harder to do all my course work from home because of those kinds of distractions."

She says the best way to avoid being distracted is to work in a public area in the house, like the kitchen, and to not have anything else open on the computer except things that relate to the work she is trying to complete.
