There are many factors that can affect a student's motivation, especially in online lessons. Aside from the initial interest of a student in the material, and learning in general, online lessons can be quite demotivating. From conversations I had with children that take online lessons during this period, the issues they have are: a. the teachers seem to not know how to teach using the material, b. lesson coordination is more difficult (this includes technical issues that can occur) c. they don't really interact with their classmates, even in tasks that are supposed to be pair/group work, d. they lose focus more easily, e. it feels like they are watching a dull video (they don't feel they have any substantial interaction with the teacher) f. they know they can do other things at the same time and they usually do them (use their phone, watch TV in the background etc.) To sum up, I believe that the students' motivation depends, to a great degree) on the teacher. If the teacher knows what he/she is doing and has planned an interesting lesson, the students will be motivated to participate (maybe not all of them, but definitely the majority).

# data[].attributes.body
Students can get demotivated during an online lesson if it isn't interesting and interactive. The teacher should be very well prepared so that there are different and motivating activities for the students.

# data[].attributes.body
Participating in an online lesson is something exciting per se, as the students seem to be excited to use the computer, the video chat and the microphone. However, as the lesson proceeds, either problems arise or students figure out that the way an online lesson is presented may not be that different from a conventional one. Interent correction, and technical difficulaties in using tools and the options offered is an important factor for learners' demotivation. Furthermore, when an online lesson lacks creativity and interactivity can cause learners' boredom and frustration by just having to hear the teacher's voice explaining the target theory.

# data[].attributes.body
First thing that causes demotivation is the process itself being online. Second thing is when they feel learning is not useful for them and not relevant to the Ss' needs and interests.

# data[].attributes.body
Students can easily get demotivated during online lessons. One of the things that affect their level of motivation is whether or not the lesson contains engaging, interactive activities. Another important factor has to do with their internet connection and whether it is stable or not. Last but not least, their level of understanding of what is being taught has a great effect on their eagerness to participate in the online lesson, as well.

# data[].attributes.body
First of all, the platform or apps that are used in order to do the online course. If those medias are not user-friendly and manageable, then our learners could not be satisfied. So, this is the first thing we should keep in mind.

To move further on, as teachers we have to keep them motivated in an online lesson through programs and supplementary material, and get them engaged to what we do. Especially, if our learners are young in age! We have to make the lesson interactive and let them "take the stage".

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, there are various factors that affect learners’ online motivation.

To start with, convenience and flexibility of an online course can be of crucial importance as well as the usefulness and relevance of course materials to real life situations.

Secondly, well-planned and organized lessons provide learners with a sense of security and exposure in a variety of teaching methods and instructional approaches prevent them from getting bored.

What is more, teachers’ friendliness as well as learners’ active involvement in the learning process can have a significant influence on their motivation.

Finally, the cognitive overload of an online course learning tasks and technical problems as well as communication breakdowns can cause learner dissatisfaction.

# data[].attributes.body
I would say that students tend to be demotivated when the teaching style is bad and students don't feel that they get into the lesson as well as the information produced is excessive therefore they block it out and they don't follow what is tried to be assimilated in this way. In addition to the lack of interest and the act of rejection,unattractive rewards can result in bad engagement as well as poor performance since the students need to be encouraged, especially the ones suffering from learning difficulties; they must get the appropriate feedback between good and bad performances; otherwise, the student can be greatly disappointed and demotivated.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that computer literacy (other than playing online games) may affect students' online motivation. More over, the design of the lesson (if it includes a variety of engaging activities and if it corresponds to the language level of the students)certainly plays a major role in motivating learners.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the most imortant factor is engagement. Teachers should have their students interact during the online lesson in any possible way. Also, familiarization with the online platform plays an important role as studets (especially young ones) get easily discouraged..

# data[].attributes.body
Interactive learning as well as teaching efficiency

# data[].attributes.body
Demotivation can easily occur if the teacher does not engage the student in the learning procedure,that is if the lesson is not interactive and communicative. Also, lack of tech tools,lecture-based lesson or content that is either already known to the student or extremely difficult to understand are some of the factors that prevent student motivation.

# data[].attributes.body
I firmly believe that demotivation in online courses derives from various reasons related to the lack  of necessary technological equipment (e.g. laptop,smartphone, a broken phone camera, etc) or sometimes can even be the lack of I.T. knowledge in terms of how to use platforms and tools properly. Apart from that, the students  might face some internet connection problems.In addition, I think that the limited communication with their peers and lack of immediate feedback from the teacher leads them to boredom. Finally, the learning environment is an important factor because if they haven't got their own personal space they will be constantly distracted by external noises such as their parents' presence or their siblings' presence, the volume of the TV or other appliances. Of course, the teacher plays an important role in keeping the learners engaged and motivated. If she/ he lacks the skills of delivering online lessons in an effective way ,then, as a result the learners will lose interest.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that students are demotivated online,as well as in traditinal classes, when they feel that what they are learning is not useful, when they are working on topics far from their interests and when the tasks do not resemble real-life conditions.

# data[].attributes.body
Students need to be motivated either in a classroom or online, so the most important factor in my opinion is the teacher and his/her skills. Management and communication skills are necessary to keep the interest and the expectations high.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with most of what you've already pointed out and I would like to focus most on collaborative tasks and pair or group work especially with young/ teenage students to resemble as much as possible the 'live classroom' environment. Even though they may not want to expose themselves (teens!) much on camera... we need to humanise the environment. Additionally to making our lessons as much as possible more relevant to what they need or are interested in. A good variety of activities at the appropriate level of difficulty or even better increasing difficulty gradually would make them feel 'present' and more engaged.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, student demotivation stems from general lack of understanding or failure to comprehend the benefits of learning a new language. In addition, the methods of teaching may be old-fashioned and the interaction between the teacher and the students themselves might be limited. Lastly, the content taught, might seem irrelevant to the learners and that is the reason they are not willing to engage in actual effort to learn.

# data[].attributes.body
To my mind, a disorganised and uninterested teacher would demotivate students from attending the online lessons with excitement. Moreover, lack of interesting content and interaction with both the students and the teacher would add up to this demotivating feeling.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Lack of personal interest, 2. Absence of purpose, 3. Weak incentives, 4. Being overwhelmed, 5. The use of old-fashioned teaching methods/materials, 6. Negative attitude towards L2

# data[].attributes.body
Asked my teenage son and this is what he said: Content not relevant to students' interest,no interaction with the students, not using visual prompts, applies to English class: if students feel they alreasy know the content, they lose interest.

What Works And What Doesn’t While Trying To Motivate Students Online?

If you ask me, the key to student motivation has to do with internal drive and individual interests. Whether educators, entrepreneurs, or motivational speakers, we must ask ourselves: How can I help each of my students in order to feel more connected to themselves as learners, as well as more personally invested in the world they live in, as a result of deep engagement with the subject matter at hand?

Many of the factors that hold true in effective traditional education formats also apply to online learning formats. For example, a low student-to-teacher ratio is necessary for probable student success, regardless of the format – in-person or online. However, there are a few specific techniques online instructors can adopt that will maximize the motivation, learning, and subsequent retention of their students. To motivate students online, we should provide opportunities for them to personally connect to the subject matter; have students set their own goals; set up a system for self-monitoring and progress-tracking; encourage students to even collaborate with us on the syllabus or course reading material (only if they are old enough; and usually prefer to act as the facilitator, rather than transmitter of information.

# data[].attributes.body
Based on my experience, students aren´t motivated to attend an online course because maybe they lack the knowledge of using the tech tools or they don´t even have these appropriate tech tools. Furthermore, they usually think that online courses are impersonal and more boring because they don´t have the opportunity to directly adress their classmate. Also they often are unable to use internet and the various apps for learning as they tend to use them only for entertaining purposes.

Insecurity or shyness: Several students attend online classes in their living room or in the presence of their family. I believe the sense that they're being observed makes them more reserved and less willing to participate.
Lack of interest, no relevant topics: Students are instantly more willing to participate and share their thoughts when they talk about their lives or personal preferances.

# data[].attributes.body
Lack of interest , inappropriate tools for their level , distraction since they're in their room when the classes take place.

Students might sometimes feel demotivated because of their fear, lack of interest and the idea that the activities they are involved in are meaningless. Especially when it comes to online learning they might feel insecure since it is a process new to them or because the  tools and programs used by the teacher might be inappropriate.

When students feel insecure,especially teenagers,are unwilling to participate in any kind of activity.Whatsmore,they should become familiar with the online tools used by the teacher.Lack of interesting material affects their mood towards learning.

The factor of unfamiliarity with this kind of teaching, lack of motivating activities, fear of not having a close relationship to the teacher.

As far as I am corcerned I believe Internet tools are ectremememerly important when teaching online. So we must ensure that our students are familiar with such tools or provide them with informomation to learn them. Then we ought to motivate them and plan our lesson in advance so as to make interesting and not at all dull. That way we will achieve our purpose which is a successful online lesson. students will understand and will be interested in learning and us teachers will be happy too with the progress of our students and our work reward us.

Online lessons should be interactive using as many tech tools as possible in order to keep students interested and motivated.

# data[].attributes.body
Online lessons should be as interactive as possible to trigger students' participation and attention. The choice and variety of tech tools used will help in motivating them and preventing them from getting bored.

# data[].attributes.body
When it comes to online lessons the teachers are motivated to organise a lesson more intresting using the tech tools. On the other side, the students are motivated to follow the lessons beacause they are more intresting for them.The interaction is biger and the enthusiasm is biger too on both sides. The attitude and the joy of teachers and students are great beacause the using of tech tools is innovative and unique.

# data[].attributes.body
During online lessons, students should keep finding the lesson interesting in order to continue taking part in activities and the educational procedure in general. In addition, students are more likely to retain their motivation if teachers use different teaching methods and activities. That creates diversity and prevents students from getting bored. Teacher's behaviour can also affect their attitude towards the lesson: positive feedback, encouragemen and kindness will positively affect their motivation to learn. We also have to take into consideration that some parental habits as well as their involvement and the lack of security at home can also affect their motivation. Parents should be a "good" example to their kids and "leave" their children out of any kind of conflicts or instable situations.

# data[].attributes.body
Online lessons require interaction in order to trigger students' motivation. Learners should not passively receive information, but on the contrary they should have an active participation in the lesson. So, the choice of the appropriate tech tools is crucial in order to motivate them. Last but not least, the content of the online lesson has an important role too, as learners need to take part in tasks that correspond to their interests and needs.

# data[].attributes.body
If students' are passive recipients and cannot participate actively then they tend to lose their interest. Topics are also important as they can ignite their curiosity or bury it for good. The right choice of tech tools is crucial.Moreover, students need to do meaningful tasks that relate to their everyday life and interests.

# data[].attributes.body
When it comes to online lessons (not learning in general) Ss are demotivated because most teachers do not use engaging tech tools, they mostly lecture. Having planned every step of the lesson before hand, making sure they use tech tools to demonstrate what they would otherwise say in words and then engaging Ss in interactive activities is the only way to have them focused- regardless the subject. Our attitude and enthusiasm combined with our tech competency will make students want more of what we have to offer!

# data[].attributes.body
In my opoinion students' motivation is affected by the online tools used in every lesson. The teacher should choose student-friendly tools in order to help them remain motivated.

# data[].attributes.body
- Provide them with active learning opportunities, for example select activities which promote collaborative group or pair work
- Include materials that are in their field of interest
- Use different online tools to make the lesson interactive and keep them engaged in the process

Usefulness.Is the course relevant and useful for them?Are the skills on a par with the requirements? Success:they want to feel successful with their expectations out of the on line lesson.

# data[].attributes.body
Main factors of demotivation (random order) : Peer pressure, low self esteem, lack of interaction (i.e. presentation, lecture, tutorial etc), time of the day (especially when they need to wake up early in the morning), fear of getting a bad grade.

# data[].attributes.body
1. The role of the instructor-teacher: how enthusiastic and friendly is, the degree of their participation and their dedication on the course, how effective the teacher's course management skills are, their provided assistance to their students so they can be well-prepared, the equipment that the instructor chooses along with the tools for the implementation of the course and how effective is to tackle problems during the course.
2. The learning environment must be safe for the students. Therefore, even if new tools are used and unchartered areas for the students are explored, the learners should become with them gradually familiar through the learning environment that the teacher sets up. The technical characteristics should also support and enhance the nature of the learning environment. Easy and free access, communication via online platforms, both synchronous and asynchronous and their easy participation in online activities constitute another defining factor.
3. Time management plays an even more important role in online classes. If time is not used effectively with the integration with all the different tech-tools, then the lesson can easily turn to a nightmare for everyone!
4. The process of learning and teaching. The more facilitated can be, the better experience with the desired outcomes can be provided. The immediate correction and feedback by the teacher becomes a necessity in online courses. The application of real-life examples, or even the personalisation so they can be tailor-made for the students, can maximize the degree of their engagement! Also, encouragement in a continual basis to the students to become more and more creative through constant research and the right guidance to master their autonomy in learning can be vital! Last but not least, the learning atmosphere should always be accompanied by joy and cheerfulness, freedom in discussion, sincerity and mutual respect!!!
5.Participation. Participation and engagement in collaborative activities along with the use of encouragement (e.g. clues would be a great idea) and reward can be surely strengthened! Also, the untilisation of emojis in the communication or other available signs prove to be a great reinforcement when it comes to communication in online class!Another important element is the constant asking of the learners' opinions. Open discussion can engage them from the very beginning to the very end of the class.

# data[].attributes.body
Firstly if there is no interaction and the lesson is mainly like a lecture can demotivate Ss a lot. Secondly, stay sitting the whole lesson can create boredom especially to young learners. Difficult tech tools that cannot be easily used and adopted can make them feel less keen to work and study.

# data[].attributes.body
There are many reasons why students may feel demotivated during an online lesson. In my experience, having a bad Internet connection is on the top of the list, followed by poorly prepared lessons combined with our possible inexperience to use the tools effectively. Some students feel disconnected from their friends and this lack of interaction puts them off, (while others thrive because they can focus better, and they feel more protected by distance). In their minds, a screen is directly connected to gaming, speed, color, and fast reflexes so introducing different activities throughout our lesson is imperative as it prevents them from being bored.

# data[].attributes.body
Preparing a lesson with interesting and fun activities and with tech tools that are easy to use is an important factor in keeping students motivated. However, there are other factors that affect a student's motivation, namely their mood, the home environment, their feeling of the language. Finally, it is very common for students to get tired after sitting in front of a screen for a long time, a fact which affects their participation in the lesson.

# data[].attributes.body
There are various factors accounting for low motivation during the online lessons. First and foremost students are not always familiar with the environment or the tools used to deliver the lessons. In addition, the lack of personal contact both with the instructor and their classmates can demotivate them. Finally, one should take into account the various technical obstacles students encounter (ie lack of equipment, problems with internet access and connection to name but a few)

# data[].attributes.body
The activities and the tools used have to be really interesting to keep students alert and motivated.

# data[].attributes.body
Students' online motivation is usually affected by the tools used at the very first moment of the lesson. The more engaging your begining is the more eager will the students be to follow you into the next stage of the lesson which needs to follow the same pattern.

Based on my experience, demotivation in online courses may emerge due to several reasons such as shyness, lack of self-esteem, lack of knowledge on technical equipment and tools, unstable internet connection, fear of being bullied by their peers, unfriendyl class environment both due to peer pressure as well as boring, non-interactive class, lack of knowledge on behalf of the teacher which often results in tiresome classes, limited communication with their peers and lack of interactivity, distractions at home,  parental attitude which makes students view online lesson as not equal to usual lesson in the classroom, learning difficulties, inability to adapt to a new environment. The instructor has to ensure them that through trial and error students can learn new things, not to fear failure, as mistakes is a way to communicate, and a way to learn to communicate effectively. The teacher should try to use varied online tools in order to find out which ones fit better to their own students and their learning styles so that students can be motivated through a lesson that is both informative as well as entertaining. This, however, entails preparation, determination and hard work for the teacher which nevertheless is rewarding in the end as the students learn new things along the way and not just subject matter.

I think there are many factors that cause demotivation to students during an online course. First of all, teachers' lack of knowledge on how to use technical equipment makes the pace of the lesson slow and this cause boredom to students. Also, young learners are not quite familiar with online self-enrollment and this may cause their demotivation. Finally, the home environment does not help students focus on the lesson, as there are a lot of things, such as toys or other objects in their room that may distract them. All in all, I believe that students' demotivation in online courses is caused both by the teacher and by the students themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
Lack od interactivity and the sense of being on your own as opposed to the sense of being part of a team when you are in classroom are major factors of student demotivation. Also, lack of experience in using ICT can be quite demotivating.

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe students are not psychologically prepared to self-discipline when enrolled in an online course and they lack motivation probably because of the limited communication with the instructor or their peers.

# data[].attributes.body
Students should be keen on learning a foreign language. On the other part teachers have to know about students' psychology. To create positive psychology with the help of interesting topics may be a kind of solution to demotivation.

# data[].attributes.body
Students may feel shy or intimidated (e.g fear of making mistakes). Also, the lack of interest in the topic may cause demotivation. The lack of tech skills from the part of the teacher may result in a boring and tiring online lesson.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that one of the most prominent factors which affect students' online motivation is the lack of necessary or efficient equipment, and the lack of knowledge and training on how to use it properly, as well as the lack of knowledge on how an online lesson works, which may lead to boredom. What is more, the home environment is also a significant factor as students feel too comfortable in their home and they do not feel like they are having a lesson, so, as a result, they may not be focused enough. This also has to do with the disturbances that they may deal with in their home environment, as there may not be a personal space for them to work. Parents, pets, noises, use of mobile phones, TVs and other such disturbances play a major role in decreasing students' motivation for an online lesson.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion demotivation is caused by unfriendly class environment,poor social background and the implementation of tasks which are not challenging and not relevant to their interests. The factors that affect students' online motivation is that they are digital natives so they can easily adapt to it and moreover the tasks appeal to them as they are within their interests.

# data[].attributes.body
Students' online motivation and demotivation as well can be influnced by a great number of different reasons. According to my personal experience teaching ss online, one of the main issues is lack of I.T. knowledge or problems with the internet connection or with the device being used. Moreover, parents' attitude plays an important role as their opinion on online lessons can seriously affect their children's viewpoint. Also, some ss who are more introverted usually feel exposed in a virtual environment like this and find it hard to cooperate with their classmates in breakout rooms or in other activities, synchronous or asynchronous. Finally, poor structured lessons can become quite tiresome for some ss, both younger learners and teenagers. If a wide variety of tech tools is used along with some rewards for the hardworking ss, online lessons can become more motivating and entertaining for both ss and teacher. We need to remember the word EDUTAINMENT = Education through Entertainment.

# data[].attributes.body
Demotivation in online classes may emerge due to dozens of reasons, such as lack of knowledge on technology, home environment, and the chance of participation in the lesson. Also, children and teenagers may feel demotivated to use technology as a means of learning, since it is usually identified as a means of entertainment. Shyness may lead to the avoidance of communication and cyberbullying can devastate a student's psychology, too. In terms of the lesson delivery, tedious presentations, by the book lesson conduction with an inability to adaptability, and few tech tools may also tire and demotivate students of all ages.

# data[].attributes.body
When students are not familiar with technology and they fear it, this can cause great difficulties in their active participation. Additionally, lacking the right equipment and having no experience in online learning can be really discouraging.

# data[].attributes.body
-Boredom from lack of immidiate feedback from peers and the teacher

BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE SO FAR STUDENTS MIGHT FEEL HESITANT TO PARTICIPATE ONLINE BECAUSE THEY MIGHT FEEL RESERVED OR LACK THE KWOLEDGE OR THE APPROPRIATE VOCABULARY OF THE ACTIVITY OR TASK THEY HAVE BEEN ASIGNED.FURTHERMORE, THEY MAY LACK MOTIVATION BECAUSE THEY MIGHT BE UNINERESTED OR INDIFFERENT TO THE TOPIC OF DISCUSSION OR THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE UNDERSTOOD CLEARLY WHAT THEIR ROLE IS OR WHAT IS EXPECTED OF THEM.OTHER PROBLEMS MIGHT BE DIFFICULTY IN USING TECH TOOLS OR BECAUSE OF FEAR OF PROGRESS.IT IS CLEAR THAT THEY ARE AFRAID OF A CERTAIN OUTCOME.

# data[].attributes.body
Shyness and low self-esteem are for young learners the major reason.  Bullying from peers not allowing them to express themselves counts for countless cases of demotivation.
Teenagers are not focused or seem to be when they are not literate enough to take part in discussions.  They do not have general knowledge so they feel discouraged to talk.
On the other hand, when a teacher is only focused on his presentation without giving the opportunity to the students to take part in the classroom also leads to a tedious and boring lesson.  A non-interactive lesson is no good for an effektive and productive day in class, a thriving teacher-student relation   So the learning outcome is not completed.
