The present study seeks to provide an overview of online learning, the concerns of remote teaching, the challenges facing online teaching, and the strategies that might be adopted to enhance students' engagement in the educational process. The study found that effectiveness, quality, engagement, costs, and equity were the most reported concerns about remote teaching. In addition, the study showed that lack of funding, insufficient training, end-user difficulties, inaccessibility, hacking, and the impersonality of technology-mediated instructions were the most often encountered challenges with online learning. Finally, the study reported that building rapport with students, encouraging interactions within the online class, using multiple forms of media/technology, and making connections between course content and current cultural events were the most significant strategies to enhance students' engagement in online teaching.
