Keeping learners engaged isn’t always easy; there are many contributing factors, ranging from the fact that they do not feel challenged to the fear of failure. It often comes down to personal factors, including the teacher/student relationship or a particular teaching style.
Now that so many schools are implementing remote teaching and learning in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, keeping students engaged with online learning is more important than ever.
While convenient for some, engaging learners online can be more challenging than in a face-to-face setting. Teachers can no longer approach students and personally guide them on areas that they may be struggling with, nor can they easily give fast-finishers extra activities.
This means learners might give up on their work more easily because they feel too much pressure or, conversely, they are bored.
