Students, parents, and even teachers’ mental health are affected by online classes. They can worsen mental health issues in people who already have them. Consider what it's like for a student to spend hours each day in front of their computers without any social interaction or bonding time with their friends. Parents are becoming more involved in their children's schoolwork and acting like teachers. Teachers and professors have increased workloads and are under pressure to provide high-quality instruction without having to teach in person.

Virtual learning has increased the number of things on students' school supply lists. Many of these things are pricey. Students will require a PC, laptop, or Chromebook to succeed in a virtual classroom. They will also require a stable internet connection.

Schools and kids who have already had this access have a substantial advantage in this setting. Meanwhile, schools and students who do not have access to this information confront substantial learning challenges. To make matters worse, these same institutions and students were already having trouble getting resources before the pandemic.

Virtual learning can cause fatigue. Learning new information is more difficult for students, they are physically exhausted despite sitting in front of the computer. Virtual learning fatigue is serious, and it can make students and professors anxious and stressed. Another thing is, most students suffer from lack of interaction and social isolation. In their formative years, young adults require social interaction to learn how to socialize. Children require playdates with other children their age, and the lack of social interaction leads to feelings of loneliness, motivation, and isolation. These are some of the main reasons why students' mental health may be affected by online learning.

But how do we overcome the negative impacts of online learning for everyone’s mental health?

One thing is we have to encourage ourselves to have healthy habits as one way to look after our mental health. This entails eating well, sleeping on a regular schedule, getting enough exercise, and looking after our physical health. We will notice an improved mood, increased energy levels, and overall mental well-being if we practice healthy habits on a regular basis. Another simple, yet very effective way is to have a designated study space or area. And lastly we have to follow a regular schedule to beat procrastination.

Teachers in traditional classrooms can keep an eye on their students and change their speed to suit those who require additional time. It's more challenging to do so in an online learning setting. Because it is more difficult to understand body language online, students may remain mute or "put on a brave face," leaving the class disheartened, frustrated, and having learned nothing. Some students who can’t attend top classes due to interruption can be left behind, some of them are too afraid to ask or too shy to approach their peers. Learning online is hard because you can’t ask continuously considering that you may interrupt the whole class, students have no choice but to absorb the lectures in one sitting which is impossible to many.

Students require social engagement with their classmates, and many may feel lonely at home and cut off from their peers due to virtual learning. Some students find it difficult to communicate with their classmates because they are in online learning. Some of them are hesitant to approach each other and are unable to express their feelings and thoughts for one another. It's also difficult for them to contact their professors because they are too nervous to ask. Unlike in a classroom, there is a bond, they may talk to each other and hang out together after class. Online learning is far from what an actual class is. Students are very hesitant or frightened to inquire, and some students find it difficult to connect with their classmates.

Finding the motivation to begin school can be tough because students may not be attending class at a specific time on a real campus.

It can be difficult to get into the mindset of working from home when you don't see your home as such. It is simple to lay down at home because you are at ease. Staying motivated is difficult these days because of the difficulty in studying; they lose motivation due to the pressure and stress they are facing.

People can stay in their pajamas with their favorite snacks and engage from the comfort of their favorite chair when they join in a virtual learning session from home. It does, however, necessitate self-control. People are surrounded by a variety of distractions at home: dogs, cats, baby goats on the internet...we've heard of people taking personal calls, going to the kitchen to refill their coffee, checking emails, and so on while the session is going on. The level of distraction rises as the session progresses. Well in fact this is not avoidable. Some students are playing online games or browsing through their phones, some are sleeping.

My online class schedule is convenient for me. Students who use the Internet to supplement traditional classes often find it easier to fit their lives around online classes than traditional ones, allowing them to take additional courses or complete assignments at home and in their free time. I am not a traditional student; therefore, I have non-traditional needs. Internet classes allow me to remain at home with my family while still completing my education. This has many advantages for a non-traditional student such as saving money, saving time and most importantly, convenience. The only downfall to my Internet class is a computer virus that occurred during the semester; however, this was remedied by someone helping me recover lost files after school hours so that I did not get too far behind on work."

I have found that the Internet classes I have taken have been a great value. If I had taken traditional classes, I would have spent about twenty dollars a week on gas alone. The only expense that I incur with Internet classes is my server charge, which is around twenty-five dollars a month. This means that by taking online classes, I am saving over eighty dollars a month and that does not include wear and tear on my car (that's eighty dollars more than if I had gone to traditional classes). By taking online classes, I could finance a new computer with the savings from taking online classes.

Also, Internet classes save time, and saving time is important to me. The travel time alone is time enough for me to complete my assignments. It would take me forty-five minutes to travel to Hammond from Mandeville, and that is only one way. The extra hour and a half makes a big difference when I am a wife, a mother of three children, a full time student, and I work part time. For example, if I spend one hour a day working on my assignments, that means that I still have an extra half hour of free time each day; time that I would normally have to spend commuting to and from school.

Furthermore, I have learned just as much online as I would have in a traditional class. I do not have the interactions with the instructor and the classmates, but I can email my instructor or my classmates at anytime. Internet classes have the discussion board where my classmates and I can exchange comments and ideas about our papers online. I do not feel as though I am missing out on anything by taking online classes. Actually, I am gaining much more that I am losing. For example, I involve my family in my Internet assignments, and I get ideas from them on assignments. I make a list like a survey, and question everyone on his or her ideas. This is a lot of fun, and it gives me ideas for my assignments. This is a learning experience for my whole family. And also, I am spending time with my family; which is difficult for a non-traditional student.

Finally, online classes fit my lifestyle, because I am not a traditional student. If given a choice I would take all of my classes through the Internet. Online classes have saved me money and time. Also, online classes allow me to work, to be a wife and mother, and it allows me to be a full time student. The only drawback for me was when my computer crashed. Other than that my experience with online classes has been a rewarding, learning experience.

Endless text slides that feel more like a boring talk show than true virtual involvement are at the root of many virtual learning challenges.

Students may lose interest in listening due to boring lectures and poor visual displays. The lack of appealing ideas and activities may make the lecture less engaging. Things have changed now that we are learning online. Students are dozing off and not paying attention to the lectures behind those cameras. Students didn't care to view the entire video lecture or play it at high speed to prove that they had already seen it. The issue is that they find the lectures to be tedious and they already expect them to be boring.
