Strategies to Help Students Adapt to Online Learning

Sharing is caring!

Online schooling has various benefits for students. But that doesn’t mean transitioning to online school is without challenges. It requires focus and discipline to study at home, which some students might struggle with. But with parental involvement and the right strategies, you can set your child up for success.

Common Obstacles of Online Learning and Strategies to Overcome Them

If you’re transitioning your child to online schooling, here are some pitfalls to be wary of and how to tackle them:

Lack of Motivation

An unmotivated student will put off their assignments and projects until the last minute. Even if they get good grades, procrastination isn’t a habit you want them to develop. One method to keep them motivated and less overwhelmed is to break down their projects into smaller tasks.

Time Management

If you have an older child with responsibilities outside of school, time management is crucial to their success. You can get them in the habit of finishing their school requirements first before doing other activities. You can also sign them up for mentorship if they need extra guidance.

Distractions

Allot specific times for social media, gaming, and other distractions. That way, your child can focus on online lectures and absorb as much of their lessons. It might also help to use study apps and other digital tools to help boost their productivity.

Technical Difficulties

Online schooling means keeping up with technological requirements. Older systems might not be compatible with the online school’s curriculum. If your child faces technical difficulties, they can access the school’s live IT support.

Digital Etiquette

Just like in traditional classrooms, online students need to practice proper etiquette. It’s easy to talk without thinking when you’re behind a keyboard. Teach your child to be careful with their words and check their messages for errors before sending them.

Lack of Communication

It can be hard for online students to ask questions and express concerns when they don’t see their teachers in person. Fortunately, most instructors do daily check-ins with students. Encourage your child to take advantage of these live sessions. Most teachers are open to discussing anything, even topics outside of school.

Feelings of Isolation

Prolonged isolation can leave online students feeling bored and unmotivated. Encourage your child to go on live meetups with their peers aside from chatting online.

Different Learning Styles

All students have different learning styles and strengths. Some might take more time to adjust to online classes than others. Fortunately, the best online private schools provide strong support systems and accommodate all learning styles.

Dependence on AI

While technology has advantages, total dependence on AI defeats the purpose of learning. Help your child with reading, researching, and writing to develop their critical thinking skills.

Despite the challenges, online learning can bring out the best in your child. ICL Academy uses modern learning methods to ignite and support students’ passions. We encourage positive communication to encourage students on their online learning journey and build their confidence.
