   Subscribe/Renew Journal


Online education is existing since 2014 but it becomes the only mode of instruction in 2020 due to the Covid pandemic. The whole world faces a lot of challenges, especially in developing countries. It is because in developing countries technology is confined to metropolitan cities only. A major portion of these countries are still rural and cannot provide the necessary infrastructure for digital education. Even after these challenges, it brings manifold opportunities too. This paper will study the opportunities and challenges faced while providing education in Online Mode from the perspective of students, teachers, and education Institutes/Universities.

Abstract


Online education is existing since 2014 but it becomes the only mode of instruction in 2020 due to the Covid pandemic. The whole world faces a lot of challenges, especially in developing countries. It is because in developing countries technology is confined to metropolitan cities only. A major portion of these countries are still rural and cannot provide the necessary infrastructure for digital education. Even after these challenges, it brings manifold opportunities too. This paper will study the opportunities and challenges faced while providing education in Online Mode from the perspective of students, teachers, and education Institutes/Universities.
