Settings and Self-Study in Security

If you are interested in Information Technology and you are studying for certifications or taking a course online, you can come up with projects at home that can help practice many of principles you are learning. First, I have found that studying you can use these elements to help your self-learning:

1. Read study materials or other learning resources
2. Lecture on one thing you have learned or have discovered in your studies
3. Audio-visual resources
4. Participate in a group discussion
5. Demonstrate your knowledge
6. Practice what you have learned
7. Teach or Share with others what you have learned
