I partially agree because not only online education but the face to face education is much more beneficial. Also not ignoring that the online education has bought much ease for teachers and students but on other side it has made studnets a bit lazy and unattentive towards their studies. Also the rem

I would like to highlight the other side of the impact of COVID on Higher Education in India. Being a student I could feel the need of the hour to make changes in our education system which has not yet upgraded so well in years. Yes, COVID isn't good for higher education as it is not about just theo

Greetings to all
In my opinion
Covid is not at all good from education point of view
Because education is not about theory only it's more about practical implication, If you cannot apply what you are learning then learning will lost its meaning, it only made us realised that we lack too much in appl

I respect your opinion. I have given my opinion on overall basis not on the basis of that 4-5% who are successfully implementing online education. But in reality if you give a smart board to a teacher of ordinary school they don't even inow how to use them. A teacher who has been teaching commerce i

My first thoughts are:
1. Yes the teaching fraternity has become more creative and innovative.
2. Larger number of people are tech savvy.
3. Large education giants like LPU invested heavily into research ($1mn fund)
4. Students also getting more tech savvy and created many a platforms themselves.

Students in Jammu and Kashmir are reeling under a double whammy of slower internet speeds and the ongoing nationwide shutdown due to the Covid 19 pandemic.

Due to Covid 19, we are forced to make balance between old styles of learning e.g. textbooks, notebooks etc. with new age learning style e.g. books, online live sessions, etc. I personally believe that nothing can replace the traditional method of one to one physical classroom session. Nowadays, kid

It's glad to hear that as a teacher you are encouraging students to adapt digital wants of learning. This technological transformation is the need of hour, this will be successful only when it is started from granular level. Teachers taking efforts for introducing newer ways of learning is definitel

In online classes we cannot learn important things like discipline and public speaking with confidence because there is much difference between face to face and online interaction.

Perhaps something good is happening but suddenly a change will happen. If we talk about higher education, we cannot understand like offline classes in online classes. Also, many students belong to the places where proper internet facility is not available. How do they study?

Today, in this critical time, all the students are facing the consequences of the pandemic on education - the cancelled exams, delayed graduation, and a shift from learning within the four walls of the classroom to online learning. The best part is that most of our students are from Gen Z, a generat

This is the time where we have to make a balance between the traditional education system using books, notebooks and high-tech education system e-resources. Because we all know that using only internet as a medium in the education will make students more dependent rather than independent. Nothing ca

Online learning is like making love through postal tuition. No proper interaction, strain to eyes, body and the mind. But, right now, there is no other way to go about it.

Yes, there is no doubt that Covid pandemic has forced the institutes for encouraging online platform for students. Due to this, many universities realized that their online platform for students is not sufficient. So for that purpose, all the universities and institutes are working on this problem w

MS Shashi Prabha,
The COVID 19 Pandemic crisis has brought a smooth shift in the Educational Landscape. I visualize a great opportunity in the integration of the two platforms, the traditional and the online. The change in the teaching and learning paradigm has surfaced innovative ways to salvage

This is not the place of argument. If you are facing problems then how are you replying to my comments? This is the mindset of many of the students. They get sufficient internet speed for the use of Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, etc. They can spend hours and hours on YouTube but when it comes to onl

In continuation with our discussion and further points based on opinions are:
1. The placements in good institutions are done for those who will complete next month. Many companies are asking them to join during July itself. Few companies may postpone till August.

For what people are you saying that COVID-19 will be a revolutionary phase in the higher education? Perhaps it's right. But many students belong to the places where there is no good internet connection. So how will they study? Plus, in this situation they can't change their location.
