Online Learning: An Emerging Trend during the Pandemic
by Akash Sharma Akash SharmaWith the
COVID-19 pandemic disrupting the normal lifestyle of people all across the
globe, the virtual world has shown a ray of hope and come to our rescue.
Educational institutions and top schools
of Delhi have shifted their focus to virtual platforms for
conducting online classes. As a result, online education is catering to the
educational requirements at all stages- from pre-primary to university level
and serving as a crucial alternative to ordinary face to face classes. Both
government and private organizations are trying to level up their online game
by sprucing up their existing platforms, offering training to teachers, and
assisting each other in these tough times. Efforts are being made to make the
transition to the virtual world smooth. Some of these efforts include
upskilling and motivating teachers and organizing counselling sessions for
parents, teachers, and students. The learning material has also been customized
to suit the online class environment.
However,
online learning presents its own set of challenges. Both students and teachers
have their individual struggles while accessing these online platforms.
Students might not be able to access the internet due to network issues or
financial constraints. They might not have a handy device or electronic gadgets
such as laptops, computers, or phones. Even if they have the facilities to
attend online classes, they might face barriers in terms of availability of physical
uninterrupted space; the same applies to teachers as well who conduct classes
from their homes. Disturbances and other interruptions make it difficult to
concentrate on studies.
