As a Distance Learning Specialist in this role, you will spend a great deal of face to face time virtually with students, but there are many potential distractions in this environment too. If asked this question during your interview, your interviewer is looking to hear a creative way or two that you would help motivate and focus the students. While this is an open-ended question with no right or wrong answer, make sure that your interview knows that you will be personally invested in the motivation of your students.

"I think that the learn-from-home model is definitely a challenge for any aged student, especially those that had participated in a traditional classroom setting prior to going virtual. A huge part of that challenge is not having the face to face interaction and social time with their peers. To minimize this challenge, I would promote virtual interaction and collaboration among the students to help motivate them as a whole. And positive reinforcement is never a bad strategy either."
