Perception of student’s towards online learning during COVID-19 pandemic
Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has impinged on the people irrespective of their nationality, age, income or gender. It has hit almost all the sectors of the economy including education. In response to lockdown norms issued by the government, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and universities had to close their premises and switch to online mode of teaching. However, HEIs were quick to replace traditional classroom with online learning. The analysis represents the perception of undergraduate and postgraduate students towards online learning during Covid 19 pandemic on the basis of three factors “Teacher’s Support & Comfort”, “Learning Satisfaction” and “Effectiveness”. Research findings indicated that the majority of students preferred online learning as it saves time, provides an opportunity to create one’s own learning environment thereby creating positive impact on the studies. However, some of the students feel that they are not getting full attention from teacher in online class compared to traditional classroom environment.
