Abstract
Online platforms are increasingly being recognized as valuable media for delivering educational material to a large audience, overcoming limitations of time and geography. Pressing situations may require educators to transition to online teaching rapidly, and in such scenarios, small-scale institutions or individual teachers might not be aware of the resources needed to establish an online classroom or teaching space and carry out online teaching effectively. This article reviews twenty-two freely available tools to help teachers create an online teaching space and efficiently conduct online education. To assist teachers, instructors, and institutions in creating effective online learning spaces, a comparison of attributes such as the student-to-teacher ratio, the availability of online whiteboards, built-in assessments, editing tools, and the preferred teaching method-either live or recorded-has also been conducted. These tools are expected to motivate teachers to create enhanced, effective online lessons at their convenience and pedagogical preference while also addressing the interests of their learners.
