Significance of online education in India.

Online education is the growing face of the education system in India.

Since the New Education Policy (NEP) came in 2020, many changes have been made in the education system that included online education as well but with a new set of rules comes many drawbacks. 

According to UNESCO, since the outbreak of COVID-19 began, 1.37 billion students in 138 countries all around the globe have been affected by the closure of schools and universities.

Nearly 60.2 million school teachers and university lecturers are no longer held in the classroom.

Since the whole country is under lockdown, e-education is the best and the only option left.

University faculties are setting up accounts on online video conferencing platforms such as Zoom, Skype, Google Classroom, Meet, among others to engage with students.

This new media holds out the possibility of on-demand access to the content at any given time or on any digital platform but this turns challenging for both administration and the students.

Digital media today is the blend between the classical and conventional way of learning like books and notebooks and digital software like eBooks and pdf.

Even though online education has many bad aspects, there are many good aspects too. Due to the global pandemic, online education has fallen into the most basic level- schools and colleges.

For the students who have long-distance commutes, they find it a more flexible and easier option as education is reaching them and not vice versa.

For the working groups who wish to continue their education or learn something new, online education is a good option for them.

It is more flexible, can adjust to their existing schedules and they can complete the assignments without sacrificing hours from their existing jobs or important chores of their household. 

Comparing to the expenses of colleges, online education is more affordable and is helpful for the aspirants who wish to go to college but couldn’t. Also, they can continue earning while gaining the education they needed.

Some key benefits of online education are listed below:

• Saving extra expenses- with the implementation of online education, we will be able to save the expenses of travel, lodging, and boarding and these fee reductions will mean lower fees for the online classes.

• No limitation- in contrast to physical classrooms, digital classrooms don’t have limitations.

• Flexibility- In physical classrooms, there’s a limitation to the local population of the students but if we talk about digital classrooms, faculties will be able to address not just the local population but also the global population.

Even in terms of faculty, we will not be contined and will be able to hire an expert professional from around theglobe.

• Nature friendly- by going digital, we are actually doing the earth a favor. Trees are used in the construction of paper, so if there would be less production of textbooks, the number of cutting down of trees will significantly decrease.

• Time saver– traditional methods of teaching includes years of studies and months of waiting for the final examination results but with the digital implementation of the classes we are getting the content on spot, can give examinations with the ease of sitting at home, and can get the results instantly (or within few days) on our smartphones and laptops which is less stressful and saves a lot of time.
