The impact of online learning on students and teachers' perspectives about it.

Online learning is getting bigger day by day and it has become part of our daily lives. From paying your bills to buying something new everything can be done online. Becoming digital is not a bad thing, it improves the quality of life. We can depend on the web for most of our curiosity. 

During the lockdown, we ended up being on the phone all day cause that was the only way to keep ourselves from the Tension of covid we were going through. Digital India is not only limited to your aadhar verification but your studies can be done here too.

We have part of life as students that our studies are necessary to be always carried on and because of closed schools and colleges it was completely stopped. We started being used to just not studying. But not no more educational organizations developed their online platform where you no need to go to your school or college building. 

Even though there were many kinds of facilities available to make our life easy, every one of us took it in another way. We had our perspective of thinking and living in lockdown. Not only did common people get affected in their jobs and daily routines but it also reached higher ones too. Equal contributions of the watch and everyone in this crisis built a strong foundation or management system in various fields that made the country overcome the consequences.

Many fields were shut down and caused various troubles to civilians. One of them which was very crucial was education. Day by day and month by month the lockdown got extended and because of that from primary school to college students were lacking in their respective years. The big boon which happened to us was the web. 

That connected people together to make use of their lost time. Even our educational organization accepted that. This was not the first time when online studies were started; it was here a long time ago but not in complete use. The use of online educational platforms increased more in the last few years. Where everyone turned to it expecting a better future. 

Online education has two types, first Synchronous which has face-to-face interaction with teachers through video chats, and Asynchronous which is recorded material for a particular course. Two people involved in this are a teacher and a student who exchange their knowledge to help study. They both see things differently as teachers and students.

• According to the studies where they learn about the perspective of teachers about online classes it says that many were convinced because of the convenience of online classes and many disagreed because it lacks then the interaction of teacher and student.

• They say that students might not want to study if you tell them not to and that exactly happened in a crisis and that was one of the reasons for making educational value and the need of keeping it regular. 

• Teachers believe that even if it is online courses we can try them to teach which is much better than not doing anything.

• According to a survey it was proven despite the convenience that online classes give it can never take place if offline classes.

Student’s perspective:

• Students believe that online classes require much more attention than offline classes because of the disturbing environment of the house. They lack concentration.

• Connectivity issue was a bigger problem to both teacher and students and it became frustrating sometimes that they simply leave classes after that.

• Well not anyone can have a smartphone and that causes problems for students to access data online. 

• In some students' families, the complaints about not having a supportive environment during classes can be a problem for both students and teachers.

• The understanding of teachers was reduced because of sometimes web issues, low voice, etc. 

• Many students of universities reportedly said that they didn't even take their classes seriously. It was just out of pressure for attendance.

• On the good side, it was reported that students believe that online classes are less time-consuming and recording helped them to understand the lecture better.

Along with bad issues, there were good ones too. Online classes are the go-to platform for everyone unable to make it to school and college. 

In conclusion, offline schools and colleges were preferred over online classes as they provide better study environments and much interaction between students and teachers. Students are more attentive and teachers are more lively in offline classes. 

Well, tradition will continue to follow for a long time now. Even now online studies are less convincing to some families about their child and they prefer that they should pack their bag with a tiffin to go to school or college every day. This is what brings the satisfaction of getting an education. 

To do the studies we prefer offline one-on-one but as the situation is getting worse we have to keep going through online classes and maybe In the coming time they will improve their level of quality and connectivity of their platforms.
