Switching to online classes due to COVID has been a struggle. I have some students who thrive in the environment and some students who find it hard to get into the right mind set in front of a computer in their pajamas. Since structure seems to be working well I still have "class" where students must log on at a specified time for attendance. Homework and case study questions are then unstructured but due by the next week. Since focus has been a problem I have advised some students to find a place in their house to be their "classroom." Get off the couch, get dressed, and go to their "classroom" to put them in a productive mood to work on homework or read their text book. One single mother would hide in her closet while her mother watched her child during class time. Without being in her closet she was having a hard time engaging.
