Online Classes: A New Beginning Due to Continuous Spread of Covid-19 – How Students See them?

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic which currently is in the third calendar year started in late 2019 and by early 2020 spread all over the world. By the end of April 2020 most of the countries have closed the schools and universities following severe lockdowns. Schools and Universities took on themselves to continue imparting the education to save one year of the student’s educational life. This was done through using various online platforms. The impact of imparting education through digital platforms have been the focus of this article. The data was collected from students from schools to university doctoral level scholars about their views on online classes. The promising outcome has been that students though have faced difficulties on various fronts on using online classes, from connectivity problem to data speed have accepted the digital platforms as a mode of teaching and learning.
