The transition to remote learning has been difficult for some students, leaving them unmotivated, fatigued, and struggling.
The pandemic has forced colleges to limit the number of face-to-face learning opportunities based on recommended health and safety guidelines, physical space constraints, instructor availability, and student demand.
Are there any solutions for those who may be feeling overwhelmed, you might ask?
Here are some impactful tips that students can implement in their lives to stay motivated when taking online courses. And one of these suggestions is to build a routine and start with simple habits. For example, block off Monday mornings to work on an English class.
Another method that may help is getting organized, creating a designated space where you can work on classes free of distractions and establishing a line of communication with fellow study mates.
The mobile app iLinkOn does an excellent job in assisting students and one could have a better time studying with the app, especially if you’re undergoing through an online learning phase.
A lot of students are having a difficult time focusing because they feel isolated in their learning environments. Sometimes the biggest barrier to feeling connected to an online class is the medium. If you are not comfortable and engaged on Zoom, or watching material in Canvas, then it is easy to check out.
