Students may struggle with the greater freedoms virtual learning provides. Self-discipline and motivation can prove to be tricky. Support and encourage students to use the Pomodoro Technique. Plan in advance what you are going to do; set a timer for 25 minutes; work solidly on the tasks set for 25 minutes; when the timer goes off take a 5 minute break; repeat the above.
