Online learning
Abstract
Online learning occurs across a multidimensional ecosystem. Adolescents can leverage the affordances of each dimension, while also encountering challenges when learning online. Adolescents are not digital natives, and they struggle to learn online due to distractions and bias. Online learning's affordances include rich learning content across multiple representations. These environments can be personalized to increase adolescents' motivation and academic identities, increasing their achievement. Individualized online environments can support historically marginalized adolescents' achievement, increasing equity in education. We discuss the skills and dispositions adolescents must develop to manage their learning online and implications for the deployment of online learning environments for adolescents.
