TILT Commitment Be self-directed, self-motivated, and responsible for your own learning. Participate and actively engage in discussions with your fellow learners-the sooner you post your ideas and questions, the more time others have to respond and deepen the discussion. Reflect on newly acquired knowledge and regularly assess your own progress. Create a time management structure that works for you and complete all assignments accordingly.
