I quite like this take from Tony Bates: "The false assumption is that students who have opted for an online course need motivating to learn. At least where students have freely chosen to take an online course, they usually come highly motivated to learn... If as an instructor you find your online students are not engaged – they do not do assignments; they've dropped behind; they don't participate in discussions – don't blame them. You have unintentionally done something wrong in your online teaching to de-motivate them." Of course this does not apply in cases where remote learning has been mandated.
