To guide remote students toward success and improve self-discipline, encourage them to set a structured schedule with dedicated study times and regular breaks to build a routine. Provide clear guidelines and regular reminders to keep them on track. Engage them with interactive content and group discussions to foster accountability and motivation. Offer tips for time management and suggest breaking tasks into smaller, manageable parts to make progress feel more achievable. Regular check-ins, constructive feedback, and supportive resources can also help students stay focused and motivated throughout their learning journey.

Building habits, motivation, and accountability are the keys to developing self-discipline in an online learning environment. Some strategies to help students or others develop this skill are as follows: 1. Divide Large Tasks into Manageable Steps: Large projects or assignments can be overwhelming, so encourage students to break them into smaller tasks with deadlines. 2. Digital Planner: Google Calendar or To-do list allow students to see the calendar and prioritize tasks. 3. Promote a Healthy Work Environment: Essential is a quiet, distraction-free space for study, and the students should be motivated. 4. Stress Management Resources: Minimizing stress can allow the student to concentrate much better and time-manage better.

To guide remote students toward success, focus on clear communication, structure, and support. Set clear expectations with defined objectives and deadlines. Encourage routines with weekly schedules and regular tasks. Foster engagement through interactive tools and create a sense of community. Provide timely feedback to motivate and address gaps. Help students set personal goals linked to their aspirations. Use group projects or peer reviews to build accountability. Share resources on time management and productivity. Balance flexibility with guidance to equip students with the skills needed for academic and professional success.

My way would be to hold a short teams meeting with each student about 15 mins to test out their submitted piece of work. Do they really understand the work they have submitted?

Let them teach the importance of online learning that how rapidly the transition taking place. Also ensure that the technology for online learning which we are providing is well sink with them.

Scheduling breaks is important. Learning in chunks gives you better outputs and helps with concentration. For example 30 minutes of focused learning with a 10 minute break in a cycle throughout the day.

Planification proactive : J'encourage les étudiants à établir un emploi du temps hebdomadaire réaliste, intégrant études et temps personnel, pour faire de l’apprentissage une activité intégrée. Objectifs progressifs : Je propose des objectifs à court terme et adaptés, afin qu’ils puissent mesurer leurs progrès, renforçant ainsi leur motivation et autodiscipline. Encouragement et suivi : Un retour régulier et positif sur leurs progrès maintient leur engagement, les aide à se sentir soutenus et les guide en cas de difficulté. Ces pratiques favorisent l’autodiscipline tout en rendant l'apprentissage en ligne plus accessible et satisfaisant pour chacun.

I would recommend study buddies or accountability groups, where students can check in with peers on their progress. This can add motivation and make them more committed to their goals.

What I found has worked with my cohorts has been 1) early communication about schedule and deadlines, with support in creating a personalised study calendar 2) ensuring that tasks are manageable with knowledge checks 3) having a lecturer actually available to support discussion forums or similar interactive activities - quite often it seems these are left rarely monitored
