Abstract:
The petrifying and severe impact of COVID-19 has shaken the world to its core. Due to which most of the Governments around the world have temporarily closed educational institutions in an attempt to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. In India too, the government as a part of the nationwide lockdown has closed all educational institutions, as a consequence of which, learners ranging from school going children to postgraduate students, are affected. Therefore, the government has come up with e-learning program. Nevertheless, Covid-19 has prompted experts to rethink the conventional mode of education. More importantly, it has also brought the hitherto peripheral issue of digital education in India to the centre stage. As well, it will provide an opportunity for educators to come up with customized learning solutions for every student. Digital learning has many advantages in itself like digital learning has no physical boundaries, it has more learning engagement experience rather than the traditional learning, it is also cost-effective and students get to learn in the confines of their comfort zone. However, digital learning is not without its limitations and challenges, since face-to-face interaction is usually perceived as the best form of communication as compared to the rather impersonalized nature of remote learning.
