Hello student,

STUDENT-1:

COVID-19 has universities across India, the world indeed, to suspend physical classroom and shift to online classes. It Not only enables teachers and students to connect over video - enabled remote classroom but also provides a host of interactive and collaborative tools on a single platform. I think online education and others play a good role. So when your kids grow up during the education it mixes them with the lot of people.

STUDENT-2:

Secondly, when you learn and you go up the value chain, it is important to actually know networking. But at the same time if you look at the education, the way it is delivered in current day, and others are absolutely flay, dull and boring. The shift to online teaching in India was very sudden this year.  Most of the institutes  and teachers were not prepared for this change. Teachers who were not very familiar with using technology had to grapple with tools of video conferencing, prepare presentations, and learn a lot along with regular job teaching.

STUDENT-3:

Ensuring active student participation is an important challenge faced in an online classroom. This could be attributed to the feeling of isolation among students, lack of Peer interaction, opportunity for collaborative learning that happens in conventional classroom on campus. The student Have to adapt to online learning using computer, tablets and mobile phones. What started as a short-term download like we'll continue for a longer duration.

STUDENT-4:

Maybe in 15 - 20 year, when this kind of dimensionality gets embedded into learning platform, actually the value of online education will go up drastically. Right now, this is purely a way of avoiding physical contact.

STUDENT-5:

Talking of virtual teaching, we cannot ignore the fact that many students might not have access to the internet. India is a diverse Nation. A group of people would be having trouble but at the same time you have to realize and still be allowed slowly, cannot take the rest of the people along with them to grow. Availability of uninterrupted internet to access online classes has been a challenge for most students. The internet penetration rate in India is more than 50%, ruler areas are deprived of internet connectivity. Intermittent connectivity often causes difficulties in getting seamless online learning experience. There is an urgent need to ensure internet access to rural areas of the country.

I hope you find it useful.
