Personally, I prefer self paced learning to traditional studies. However, I think that many students in general struggle with procrastination, including myself. This is a pretty great article related to procrastination and how to combat it: https://www.coursehero.com/college-life/procrastinate-neuroscience/
The most useful tip to come out of that article for me is to trick my mind into caring about my future self. It is much easier said than done, but it does work.
Anyway, I think we will begin seeing that shift to more online learning over the coming years. COVID-19 has forced the traditional education system to adapt. It is kind of bizarre how unprepared so many educators were. Thankfully, there are companies that are providing help during this time.
