 Intro​

In the face-to-face classroom, we have a clear sense of time; in the online classroom, time is a flexible concept. When we study in a face-to-face environment, we have our teachers with us in the same location, whereas in the virtual environment we are sent with each other without geographical boundaries. When it comes to our senses, in the face-to-face environment we can clearly see our students, hear their voices and touch concrete objects to explain a concept; in the online environment, we need to adapt our senses to connect with learners and create a sense of closeness.

 

  • Challenges for Online Learners

 

  1. Without face-to-face contact, students may find it easier to avoid communicating with teacher and classmates.

  2.  

    The anonymous feeling of the online environment can make it easier for students to withdraw, participate minimally, or completely disappear from the course.

  •  

  • Students may enroll in online courses because they feel they will be easier and require less of their time. So before the course even begins, these students may be prone to disengagement.
