6. Online students must be driven by self-motivation do to
online classes being mainly self-paced.
Teachers must work extra hard to keep a student
motivated and engaged in online learning.
Students are typically focused to complete assignments
solely due to the amount of interest and motivation that
have in a particular assignment.
Because students do not have direct access to a teacher
and because motivation is an important factor, it is
extremely important for teachers to tap into each
student’s interests, learning styles, and engage them
accordingly.
