The Covid scenario pushed the world into a cocoon-like state where movement was restricted within the respective homes. The hustle-bustle social life of humanity had come to an abrupt halt. Every sector of the economy was compelled to witness a sharp fall, thereby leading to deteriorating conditions. A pandemic spread across the nook and corners of the world had unleashed doom into humanity that crushed the people physically and mentally. However, despite the fall, the education sector saw an emerging light. Although the physical interaction was halted, the virtual world took a bloom and saved the learners from drowning in utter darkness.
Education found a medium of communication that was already present but whose potential was not fully recognized or put into proper use. The online platform that managed to accommodate all under one umbrella despite the distance took to heights during the Covid period. The educational scenario had undertaken a drastic turn that opened possibilities for learners to follow. Hence, there was no pause in learning. The online portals managed to assemble learners virtually to continue the journey.
However, not every section could receive the benefit of online learning owing to affordability issues. Some sections received it while others were left helpless and missed the classes.
The online learning that received its importance during Covid has not faded away. This has opened avenues for people opting for varied courses from the comfort of their homes. Online learning has taken a boost since then, aiding everyone with learning, be it institutional courses or extra learning.
Although institutions have resumed a state of normalcy with offline classes and activities back to the forum, the online mode has not given off its essence completely, for it is still in use as an alternative medium.
The pandemic scenario gave a new status to online learning, which was not in its fully recognized state. Since learners were pushed to opt for an alternate medium, online learning came into the limelight and took a boost to exercise its importance.
