Capilano College publishes short, practical writing for people who learn: study methods that stick, note taking, exam preparation, clear writing, managing your time, learning languages and building a portfolio.
We don't sell courses and we don't rank institutions. Capilano College is an independent collection of short articles written to be useful on a first read: a method you can try this week, not a list of generic tips.
The site started as a set of study notes shared between students. Over time it became a small publication covering ten recurring themes, from note-taking systems to choosing a career direction when nothing feels decided.
New articles are added irregularly, when there is something worth saying. Readers who want to keep up can join the newsletter below; it goes out only when a new piece is published.
