Here are some of the most prevalent issues that undergraduate students are having with online

classes, as well as specific advice on how to deal with them.

 Technical issues.
 Distractions and time management.
 Staying motivated.
 Understanding course expectations.
 Learning styles.
 Adapting to unfamiliar technology.
 Uncertainty about the future.
 Feedback
 Virtual engagement.

1.TECHNICAL ISSUES:

Technical issues are unavoidable in an online-only environment.

 Abrupt shutdown of the computer during video conferencing and system needed to be
restarted.
 Intermittent Wi-Fi connectivity
 Students struggle with live classes, appropriate icon usage, MS Office, communication-
related apps and websites, and browsing study resources, among other things. They may be
unfamiliar with technology skills such as logging in, attending live classes, preparing and
submitting work, and connecting with friends and teachers.

2.DISTRACTIONS AND TIME MANAGEMENT:

In online learning, a lack of a schedule can contribute to poor time management. When students
enrol in face-to-face sessions, the instructor establishes a schedule for them. Many online courses
are designed with a lot of flexibility in mind. Although the course may include due dates, the student
must create his own timeline for completing the assignments.

While studying from home or wherever students may be, there may be more distractions than usual,
especially if family and possibly younger siblings are present. Time management becomes more
difficult as a result of these distractions and possibly having additional responsibilities.

3. STAYING MOTIVATED:

It will be challenging to find the enthusiasm to begin schoolwork because students may not be
attending class at a specific time on a real campus.

When students have difficulty with online learning, they become discouraged. Motivation is essential
to finish activities and engage students in their studies. Lack of motivation is a common problem
among students.

It's difficult to get into that mindset when you don't see your home as a space of work. However,
there are different places in the house where learners can sit and learn without any external
distractions and will be able to focus on learning.
4. UNDERSTANDING COURSE EXPECTATIONS:

Many students are perplexed about some course requirements for the remainder of the semester
due to the abrupt change to online learning. They could ask if a final group presentation is still taking
place, or if science labs must still be done, given that students can no longer interact on campus.

Students may also question if their classes will have live videoconference lectures at a certain time
on a set day, or if they will be expected to learn the content on their own time.

5. LEARNING STYLES:

The majority of the students have learned in a conventional classroom. Online learning can help you
adapt to various learning methods. Some students can readily adjust to these techniques, but what
about those who require more time? They lack concentration, are unable to follow live classes, and
have difficulties creating projects and assignments using technology in these situations.

6. ADAPTING TO UNFAMILIAR TECHNOLOGY:

Students are now adjusting to some digital tools as a result of the transition to online classes. All of
us have had to learn to use technology in the last couple months that some of us have never heard
of and some of us may have used just a little bit of the technology.

7. UNCERTAINITY ABOUT THE FUTURE:

The abrupt transition to online classes for the spring semester – and, in some cases, the summer –
has caused students to be concerned about their academic futures. Some students are considering
taking the fall semester off if their school continues to offer online classes, while others are
concerned about maintaining a full course load while juggling family responsibilities at home.

8. FEEDBACK:

To strengthen their learning abilities, every student requires feedback on their performance during
the learning process. They are observed not only during tests and exams, but also during each
assignment and project. According to research, students rarely return to their assignments to review
their suggestions and comments. They will have difficulty understanding and implementing the
online feedback methodology.

9. VIRTUAL ENGAGEMENT:

Teachers can use online classrooms to engage students with reading materials, assignments,
communication via email, live chats, or messages, and content delivery via live sessions,
presentations, recorded films, or lectures. Despite all of these activities, some students may not find
them as engaging as a regular one. Students that have difficulty understanding concepts find it
challenging to communicate in person. These students frequently do not approach professors to
clarify their doubts.
