"My ﬁrst weeks of online classes have been hard because it’s difﬁcult to stay on task with all the work we are being assigned by teachers. The work isn’t necessarily hard but ﬁguring out how to use the different websites and when a new assignment has been posted takes a while. I am getting better at this as I go just like my classmates but sometimes I’ll miss some assignments I didn’t realize were due."

"Something I ﬁnd really special about my school is that we are really focused on student-centered learning. We use a Harkness-style teaching method where all the students and the teacher sit at a round table together and instead of learning through lecturing, we learn from each other. Peer-to-peer interaction is a really pivotal part of education at my school, and it feels like it falls so short in our distance learning. We use Zoom and can see one another and our teacher, but everyone is always muted so as not to interfere with background noise. We only have three or four classes synchronously. I feel like my education is not being fulﬁlled."

"Everyday my motivation to do my work decreases and recently all my assignments have been turned in late causing my grades to drop. It has also been very difﬁcult because I’ve had to become my seven-year-old brother’s teacher. My parents aren’t very ﬂuent in English, so they aren’t able to help him with his schoolwork. It’s very challenging to keep up with both his work and my work at the same time."

I have been hearing complaints that some students are having trouble keeping up with assignments because of their slow internet connection that they must share with siblings. This also means it is especially difficult to have synchornous lessons with them.

The pace is considerably slower when compared to a physical classroom. Most learners need repeated reminders. While we understand that it is a difficult time for them, and we try to be flexible, sometimes the gap is too much and achieving the objective becomes a challenge.

I don't think they are learner challenges - they are teacher challenges - because teachers are still figuring out how to ensure maximum remote engagement. They have to visualise what learners could be up to in the comfort of their homes... and keep them interested and engrossed!

Sometimes there is overlap because everyone is talking at the same time and learners are a little apprehensive about asking the same thing over and again.
While in class it is simpler to monitor a learner’s work and offer support if/when required, identifying this need for additional support becomes a little tricky online.
