Many students may face challenges when making the transition to online learning, such as the lack of face-to-face interaction and the need for self-discipline. Psycho-pedagogical support can help students adapt to this new environment by offering guidance and resources to develop self-management and organisational skills. This article explores the importance of psycho-pedagogical support in online learning. Here we highlight the strategy we used to help students who were in the first year of an online degree course. To this end, a non-formal space was created where challenges were presented, through forums, with themes that were not only relevant to the development of study and adaptation strategies, but also promoted the socio-emotional development of the students who wanted to take part in this experience. Online learning can be isolating and emotionally challenging for some students. Psycho-pedagogical support provides a safe space for students to express their concerns, deal with academic stress and develop effective coping skills. In brief, by implementing effective psycho-pedagogical support strategies, students' well-being can be promoted and, as a result, their learning potential maximisedengPsychopedagogical supportOnline learningSocio-emotional supportAdult studentsHigher Educationconference object10.26352/I620_2384-9509
