Technological Impact of Online and Offline Teaching in Indian Context

Keywords: Digital, technology, online, offline, shortcomings, epidemic

Abstract

India really does have   the most youthful population on the planet, with an average age of just over 30 years, while also being the second most populous country in the world after China. The year 2020 commenced in India with high aspirations and potential, however, to stop the spread of the Covid-19 epidemic, the nation quickly went into lockdown. The education industry, which was severely impacted from primary to higher streams in school, colleges, and universities, is the most afflicted at this pivotal moment. Digital alternatives were simplified to cover the curriculum, and cell phones and other electronic devices that were officially forbidden in schools ended up being the sole supporting technology during the lockdown. One study was done with a focus on students, teaching staff, and parents of school-age children in order to examine the consequences of students' and teachers' abrupt adoption of online learning. The poll had 301 responses in all, and the outcomes were valid and optimistic. With the development of technology, the significance of online education as well as the advantages and disadvantages of both modes of education were amplified. The findings highlighted the shortcomings of the online education system as well as certain advantages of traditional or classroom instruction. Before introducing online education on a large scale in India, a developing nation, the government must first provide the essential facilities. The bedrock of how people survive and flourish is learning. People are educated to help them become contributing members of society through both online and offline learning. No learning method can be guaranteed to be 100 percent successful. As depending on just one of the aforementioned modes can never be particularly effective, it must be a combination of both, the best among these two core systems must be taken and combined.
