5 major Challenges of Virtual learning How
parents can help their kids.
2
COVID Situation
School districts have done their best to plan for
learning eventualities. To keep children and
employees safe, some schools have turned to
virtual learning, which is a completely new
paradigm for everyone involved. Everyone is going
through a significant transition, which is
certain to cause anxiety. Virtual learning is a
novel concept for many parents, and it may be
scary. As a result of the epidemic, many families
may be experiencing financial strain, job
insecurity, or the difficulties of working from
home.

The following were discovered as the top five
challenges experienced by parents (of students in
grades K-12) with virtual learning in a McAfee
research, Distance Learning Challenges, taken in
April 2020

• 50.31 percent of parents want to keep their
  children focused on academics (rather than other
  online activities).
• Establishing a daily schedule 49.26
• juggling domestic duties and teaching commitments
  41.83 percent
• Setting a night-time and wake-up schedule 33.40
  percent
• Working from home while also teaching 33.31
  percent

But take comfort in the fact that you are not
alone. Given all the other things you're
juggling, the task may appear onerous at times,
especially if one of them is a job that needs you
to leave the house.

We think that by learning about all the primary
challenges that parents are encountering in these
new times, we can foster a feeling of community
and bring some comfort in knowing that we're all
figuring it out together.

• The Most Serious Problems Parents Have with
  Virtual Learning

6
Parents are unsupported with the tech

• Only 5 of instructors believe they are receiving
  full training and support for EdTech in their
  schools.
• Everyone is getting used to their child's
  school's virtual learning interface, and many
  parents are likely to encounter into problems.
• Consider starting a WhatsApp group or another
  form of communication with other parents to
  discuss issues and solutions.

7

• Students are not allowed to ask for assistance

• Virtual learning schools rely on students to
  self-learn most of the time.
• Students are required to read the course
  materials, watch a few videos, and print some
  study materials.
• There is very little instructor-led training to
  explain the material, though there may be a few
  support sessions for individuals who require it.

8
Reducing Distractions

• In their home situations, pupils have access to a
  variety of distractions.
• Kids are kids, and it's not a stretch to imagine
  that they'll eventually switch to a game.
• According to a 2016 study, students check their
  smartphones 11.43 times each day on average for
  "non-class purposes.
• With virtual learning, the convenience of
  proximity is lost.

9
Creating a home atmosphere that is conductive to
learning

• School is school, and home is home.
• These venues have completely distinct vibes,
  children are increasingly being urged to adopt a
  school mentality at home.
• This might be challenging, especially if everyone
  is at home for the entire day.
• Parents should do everything possible to provide
  a peaceful environment for their children.
• Parents should assist them in psychologically
  separating that room as a study space.

10
A student may find it difficult to remain engaged
at times

• Sometimes a student just can't seem to get into a
  class, and without an instructor to step in and
  provide personal assistance, it can be a major
  roadblock to advancement.
• There is no quick answer for this, but there are
  things parents can do over time to assist
  youngsters unstick and adopt a growth mentality
  when dealing with issues like these.
• Parents can also play a more active role in
  helping pupils stay engaged.
• According to one study, school students benefit
  from chats with their parents about learning and
  school-related concerns, as well as shared
  readings.

11
Technology investment

• School is school, and home is home.
• These venues have completely distinct vibes,
  children are increasingly being urged to adopt a
  school mentality at home.
• This might be challenging, especially if everyone
  is at home for the entire day.
• Parents should do everything possible to provide
  a peaceful environment for their children.
• Parents should assist them in psychologically
  separating that room as a study space.

12
Brain Breaks for Virtual Learning

• Every student has a different attention span.
  This is put to the test in a virtual learning
  environment.
• Furthermore, paying attention on a Zoom
  conversation, which lacks many of the emotional
  and physical cues.
• Ensure that your youngster gets "brain breaks" in
  between classes.
• Time allows them to unwind and renew their minds.

13
Motivation must be monitored

• Classrooms are purposefully constructed to
  encourage learning, whereas bedrooms and kitchen
  tables are not.
• It is necessary to keep track of long-term
  motivation.
• Because a teacher on the other end of a Zoom call
  is unable to do so, it is frequently left to the
  parent.

14
Physical well-being of students

• Virtual lessons are a bit of a crutch, but it's
  the best that schools can do.
• As we previously indicated, children do not get
  nearly as much mobility in virtual learning as
  they do in traditional schooling.
• Physical inactivity can result in physical
  problems as well as a reduction in attention span
  and cognitive performance.
• Regular physical activity during the school day
  can help children focus.
• Encourage your children to exercise before
  starting school and, at the very least, after
  school hours.

15
Isolation feelings

• Many kids will be absent from class. Everything
  they are used to has been replaced by sitting in
  front of a computer screen in their own home.
• The buzz of the classroom, meeting their friends,
  and the daily activities of school life
• Students may develop a sense of isolation as a
  result of these circumstances, which might impair
  their capacity to study.
• Maintain an open line of communication with your
  child regarding their emotions.
• The goal is to be present, patient, and
  understanding, as well as to provide as much
  assistance as possible.

16
Conclusion

• Virtual learning has presented a slew of issues
  to children, which has inevitably filtered down
  to parents. In addition to everything else, we
  must make education a priority and prevent our
  children from viewing virtual learning as a
  vacation.
• Make sure to give favourable feedback.
• Allow yourself to be patient and adaptable.
• Avoid penalising children during school events,
  especially if they are accustomed to positive
  reinforcement rather than scolding from their
  teachers.
