A Critical Study of Student's Perception About Delivery of Online Session & Learning Effectiveness

Abstract

Online learning has become a vital and alternate solution of knowledge sharing after the world has seen the pandemic situation of COVID – 19. The ecosystem took a while to adjust with the sudden closure of academic Institutions due to social distancing. The creation and adoption of virtual classrooms has become necessary to continue the teaching-learning process. While the focus is to create an engaging learning environment, people involved in the delivery of the content had to quickly upgrade to remain relevant with the changing dynamics. The objectives of this research are to identify the learning effectiveness of a student during Online classes and to understand if Content, Pedagogy, and use of different technologies during session have a better online learning experience. Also, the researchers assumed that the faculty-student connect may increase the learning experiences. This cannot be developed only during class timings but requires personal interaction between faculty and student beyond class timings.

The study concludes with suggestions of overcoming the above challenges with regards to online learning, thus aiming to improve and enhancing the quality of learning outcomes. Faculties who remain relevant in this changing learning ecosystem are those people who are ready to adopt and learn new things quickly.
