Two common challenges must be addressed in online learning environments: concentration and comfort.
Concentration speaks to the ability of students to stay focused and complete tasks without errors. Absent the in situ environment of classrooms, however, this becomes challenging: Students will engage with screens and software only for so long. According to recent research, a student’s grade level has a significant impact on attention span older children are better able to concentrate for longer periods of time. Younger students, meanwhile, often struggle to stay focused.
To address this issue, some states have implemented guidelines around maximum remote teaching times. In Illinois, for example, 90 minutes per day is recommended for students in first and second grades, while Kansas suggests just 45 minutes for first-year students. New Hampshire, meanwhile, says no more than 120 minutes online, plus reading time, per day.
