One of the best things to do it stay together and understand the importance of being a part of a community. Without the company of friends and the classroom buzz, it’s easy for distance learners to feel isolated. This in turn leads to a loss of motivation.

Build a sense of community in your online learning environment to combat this isolation. Try the following strategies:

• Coordinate online group activities
• Take the time to chat off-topic. Discuss how everyone is keeping busy and staying healthy at home
• Make your communication personal. Use names and keep the tone warm and engaging
• Have a weekly virtual show and tell where students can share their aspects of their home lives and activity
• Follow up formative assessments with an online peer review
• Post a brief ‘welcome to class’ video daily, where you greet students and explain the day’s learning objectives
• Schedule video lessons via Skype or Zoom to bring back the liveliness of a regular classroom environment.

Connecting with their peers and their teacher will give your students the extra motivation that they need to engage with distance learning for an extended period.
