Abstract

The increasing shift toward online learning has fundamentally transformed educational environments, requiring teachers to develop new skills that combine content expertise with effective digital pedagogy. As technology continues to shape learning experiences, understanding how to engage students in online spaces while mitigating the challenges of digital distractions becomes crucial. Drawing from educational frameworks, this chapter examine how these models collectively inform the development of more effective online learning strategies. By emphasizing the importance of fostering social connections, collaboration, and self- regulation, these models offer valuable insights into how educators can create supportive learning environments that minimize distractions and enhance student focus and engagement. Through this lens, the chapter explores how educators can better navigate the complexities of online education, providing both theoretical and practical perspectives on how to support Gen Z learners in maintaining focus and maximizing their potential in digital classrooms.
