1. As a teacher during the pandemic, engaging students actively in online discussions can be challenging due to internet connectivity issues. However, there are techniques that teachers can use to enhance functionality and interaction. 2. Teachers should consider the tools students prefer, like social media, and structure smaller online class sizes to allow for more engagement between students. Using hashtags can help students easily navigate discussions. 3. Teachers' voices, gestures, and expressions through video are important visual aids to maintain student motivation and connection during online classes. Time management, limiting presentations and giving students opportunities to interact promptly, also helps prevent loss of attention.

Issues and concerns on learning at a Distance
This document discusses issues and concerns with distance learning. It identifies several key challenges, including the separation of teacher and learner, the need for educational media to connect them, and establishing two-way communication. Some prominent issues are what is different about teaching at a distance, reasons for distance learning like lack of transportation or teachers, and ways to improve planning, organization, meet student needs, teaching skills, and interaction/feedback. Challenges of distance learning include needing computer/internet access, requiring self-motivation since there is less pushing from professors, difficulty finding one-on-one time with professors, potential lack of campus atmosphere, and needing to find own academic resources.
PLEs And CMSs
Course management systems (CMS) are scalable online platforms that support teaching and learning through communication tools, content delivery, and assessment features. Personal learning environments (PLE) refer to the formal and informal tools students use to gather information, reflect on it, and learn. PLEs often involve bundled web 2.0 applications for research, collaboration, and publishing. Effective learning is situated within an authentic social and cultural context. A study examined student and educator attitudes about CMS and PLEs in facilitating authentic, contextual learning.

Blended learning combines online digital media with traditional in-person classroom methods. It involves a mix of synchronous face-to-face instruction, asynchronous online instruction, and independent study. There are several models of blended learning, including rotation models where students rotate between online and in-class sessions, and flex models where online instruction is primary but some students may receive face-to-face support. Blended learning aims to make learning more efficient and accessible while still allowing for human interaction and independent study. While it provides more flexibility and opportunities for learning, challenges include student time management and lack of independent study skills.
AOHS Lessons Learned
Academy Online High School principal Rick Tanski provides lessons learned and recommendations for online courses. Students need strong self-discipline, motivation, communication skills, and the ability to stay caught up on work. Online courses require as much time as in-person classes and are not self-paced. Joining an online class after the second week significantly increases workload. Online courses are text-based and may not be suitable for students struggling with reading or visual processing.

7 Surefire Tips for Remote Teaching: Make Learning Engaging
https://prepai.in/blog/advantages-and-disadvantages-of-elearning/
Remote learning stemmed from the requirements arising from sudden or unexpected events, like snowstorms, scheduled absences, or any other emergency situation rendering students and teachers unable to come for the regular classes.
Mostly confused with online teaching, remote teaching essentially moves the educational content to an online space and there are little or no discussion boards, group work, assessments, etc.
Online teaching, on the other hand, comprises interactive modules and assessments based on real-life scenarios and discussion forums for discussing and solving problems. The lectures are not recorded and the sessions are synchronous and involve problem discussion and resolution.
Hence, there is a subtle and significant difference between both the terms, despite them being used interchangeably by people these days.
Recent studies predict exponential growth in the global e-learning market and the market valuation to sit above 370 bn USD by 2026.
While the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has a major role in driving this growth, remote learning has been there prior to the pandemic as well.
However, remote teaching comes with a lot of challenges that not only affect the quality of teaching, but also the overall experience for both – the educators and the students.

Functionality in engaging active virtual discussion
- 1. FUNCTIONALITY IN ENGAGING ACTIVE ONLINE DISCUSSION By: Roper T. Gamali, LPT Bestlink College of the Philippines – Bulacan Inc. Minuyan Proper, Road II, City of San Jose Del Monte Bulacan May 25, 2020 As a teacher we wants to promote the best learning experiences to our students as we can during classroom discussion, but the question of today’s Pandemic how do we build a sense of online interactive discussion with our students? Online discussion becomes comprehensively adoptable and allows educators and the learners to get access of educational platforms – but sometimes online learning can feel isolating for students not because they are not interested to learn but, because of the internet connectivity and the functionality of teacher to engage students to be active during online class discussion specifically if the internet connection is interrupted / weak signal. Below are distinct techniques on how teacher can be functionality in engaging active online discussion with the students. 1. Consider the tools to be use before engaging online discussion this is to enhance opportunity for interaction in online classrooms. You can use what is the most prefer social networking tools being used by the students like Facebook page, Messenger, Email and other preprogram communication so that interaction can take the learning further faster and interactive since you consider the most tools being use for online learning. 2. Consider the class size. In an online environment, you can structure the size of students. let say in a traditional classroom you have more or less 50 students in online class to be more interactive and give a space for the students to know each other from time to time you may create a smaller group (chat room in a messenger, Facebook page ) and re arrange every activity so that each students can interact each other. Even though this kind of method is more enduring but it is quit approachable because students able to mingle different personalities and plus factor is by- request of the student who will be their new chat room mate. Facebook page can be also an interactive to learn. Using this group functionality, students can create special interest group or study group this is applicable even more than 100 or even more students to interact. To make easy to access the discussion even in a week or in a months used the # hastag to easily navigate what you want to recall for your students. Since tech tool is already on the list for online classroom now consider how or what kind of interaction you’re going to use to support the learning goals in your online classroom. 3. Voice and gestures is the best visual aids of a teacher: if you’ve taken a continuing online classroom, you’ve seen how students fade away over time. Students get busy or they don’t get the support they need and lose motivation. Now this is your time to shine, by using your angelic, dramatic, thunder voice to influence your students in online class plus your gesture, mannerism, expression- used this as a tool to stay connected with your students. 4. Time management- limits your time in discussion only present facts, ideas in a form of picture, quotation or an introduction not more than 2minuts and gives the students to interact immediately so that student connectivity is there, this is to prevent losing attention. If you notice 3 or 5 students didn’t make any comment or give interaction - send them a private message to inform them that you are serious of what you are doing. 5.
