The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the education system so abruptly that schools had little to no time to prepare, leaving teachers and students to figure out how to adapt to a new learning environment on the fly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">K\u201312 students have learned a lot about remote learning in the last few months. Some students miss the social aspect of traditional education, while others thrive from learning at their own pace. Some have also struggled to create a balance between school life and home life and communicate with their teachers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"rc-subscribe\" id=\"new-rc-subscribe\"  style=\"background-image:url('\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/ringcentral\/assets\/images\/temp\/subscribe.png')\">\n\t\t<button class=\"close js-popup-close\"><svg class=\"icon_close_mobile\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\"><use xlink:href=\"#icon_close_mobile\"><\/use><\/svg><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"rc-subscribe__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"rc-subscribe__wrapper_text\">\n<h3 class=\"rc-subscribe__title h2\">Stay informed with RingCentral<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rc-subscribe__subtitle\">Subscribe to our emails for the latest blogs, events, and exclusive content on AI-powered communication solutions.

Below, we summarized the key points students discussed in that article and identified how communications can play a role in improving the quality of remote learning. Here are the key themes we found:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><b>1. A lack of structure can demotivate<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike in school, where students have regimented class periods and lunch breaks, remote learning allows students to largely create their own schedules. While this might sound like a kid\u2019s dream scenario, many students find the lack of structure challenging.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, some students learning from home miss having a structured schedule with teachers to support them. Without it, they may procrastinate more, knowing they can work on their assignments at any time. Others feel guilty about being lazy. In addition, many students dislike the lecture format of remote classes, because the lack of interaction makes it harder for them to engage with the material and retain information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While a lack of structure can be challenging, too much structure can also backfire. Back-to-back video classes without adequate breaks mean students don\u2019t have the chance to switch gears from one subject to another. Sitting for long hours in front of a screen can also be fatiguing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><b>2. Some students learn better at their own pace<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, some students have adapted well to the shift. Some prefer the ability to set their own schedules, take breaks when they need them, and work from the comfort of their own home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the same time, remote learning allows students to wake up later than they would for a typical school day. The extra sleep helps relieve stress for some and also helps students focus on their work. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/med.stanford.edu\/news\/all-news\/2015\/10\/among-teens-sleep-deprivation-an-epidemic.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Studies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> show that sleep deprivation is most acute among teens who have lots of extra-curricular activities, such as early school schedules, loaded assignments, sports, and part-time jobs. The lack of sleep hinders their ability to perform at school and grades often suffer. But with more flexibility in their schedules, many students have caught up with their sleep debt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remote learning also gives some students the opportunity to explore hobbies and interests that aren\u2019t always supported by the public school system, such as learning to code.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><b>3. Slow communication between students and teachers\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a traditional classroom, students can raise their hands or walk over to their teacher\u2019s desk when they need help with their work. In an online learning environment, however, students may have to fend for themselves if they don\u2019t understand the material. In fact, many students can only reach teachers by email, and they rarely get an immediate response. As a result, students may submit homework late and begin falling behind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students need a way to reach teachers and classmates in real time to get help when they need it\u2014not hours later. A unified communications solution like the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/office\/industry-solutions\/education-cloud-phone-systems.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RingCentral app<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> enables secure, direct messaging between students and teachers at any time of the day, as well as class messaging for group discussions and collaboration. If teachers are occupied with other tasks, students can communicate and work together (as they would in school) to tackle harder lessons.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><b>4. Students struggle to define boundaries between school and home<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that the home has become a place of both work and rest, many students find it tough to create healthy boundaries between their school lives and personal lives. Many at-home students struggle with distractions, such as social media and texts from friends Many also find the increased computer time draining.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s an upside to spending extra time at home, however: reconnecting with family. Some students feel grateful for the additional time they get to spend with their parents and siblings, and they appreciate having extra support with their assignments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important for students to have time between classes to step away from their devices and take a break. Many say this helps prevent exhaustion from video conferencing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><b>5. Students feel like their workload has increased<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Office workers have experienced increased workloads during COVID-19, with 23% of respondents to one survey saying their <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/er.educause.edu\/blogs\/2020\/4\/educause-covid-19-quickpoll-results-the-technology-workforce\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">work has increased greatly<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students also feel the weight, especially with most extracurricular activities now canceled or postponed. Many students feel their schools have assigned more work than normal, because teachers feel their students have more \u201cfree time.\u201d In fact, some schools have imposed remote physical education classes, which some students and families find unnecessary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many students still have a lot on their plates, even without their extracurriculars. For example, many have to study for standardized tests, such as the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SATs). Others have taken responsibility for helping younger siblings with homework to support their time-strapped parents. Some students simply struggle to navigate the different apps and websites that their teachers use to assign them work.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><b>6. Some students don\u2019t have access to reliable technology<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The digital divide is more evident now than ever. According to a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsday.com\/business\/technology\/internet-schools-homework-computer-1.32096937\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2019 analysis by the Associated Press<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, about 17% of students nationwide don\u2019t have a computer at home, and 18% lack broadband internet. Without the necessary tools to access online classes and assignments, many students stress about their inability to learn online and the effect it could have on their overall academic performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some schools have addressed this issue by offering curbside pick-up for laptop rentals or mailing paper packets to students without internet access. For example, New York City\u2019s Department of Education handed out 300,000 iPads to students without remote learning access at home. Some US school districts have responded by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/2020\/4\/9\/21200159\/coronavirus-school-digital-low-income-students-covid-new-york\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">strengthening Wi-Fi signals at schools<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> so families can access them or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/2020\/4\/9\/21200159\/coronavirus-school-digital-low-income-students-covid-new-york\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">deploying Wi-Fi-enabled buses<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to neighborhoods with poor internet access.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><b>7. Students miss the extracurricular aspects of school\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Schools provide a lot more than academics. Unfortunately, remote learning means students miss out on extracurricular activities such as sports, dances, school plays, and graduation. Even simple daily interactions, such as hanging out with friends in the lunchroom or chatting with teachers after class, are hard to replicate online.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For many students, this lack of social interaction is one of the biggest challenges of remote learning. While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/video-call.html\">video calls<\/a> and chats help students stay connected with classmates and teachers, many feel their teachers don\u2019t leverage these tools effectively. For example, some teachers only use online learning platforms to post assignments and host lectures, rather than allowing students to discuss their work in class and ask questions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"rc-post-content-cta rc-post-content-cta_yellow\">\n<div class=\"rc-post-content-cta-columns\">\n<div
