This pandemic has affected students in so many ways. Their mental and social state has indeed changed drastically and more importantly academically. In developing countries, online learning is not prevalent and most students are finding it difficult to adjust to it. It is very challenging for students who are used to face-to-face learning to get used to online learning in terms of assimmilation and understanding notes without proper guidance from lecturers and tutors who help during physical learning.

Some students are demotivated to even practice online consultation with their lecturers and mentors because in situations like this, factors such as inadequate data, lack of electricity, and the fear of talking directly/alone with their mentor/tutor hinder effective learning. Unlike physical learning where tutors can group students and facilitate discussions. This type of setting encourages and gives confidence to students who are not able to converse directly with their tutor. They can also find solace in their peers and be comfortable to discuss amongst friends.

Group discussions could be possible with online learning but in this global age, students could easily be distracted with social media activities and neglect schoolwork. Technology has been so helpful during this pandemic, but most students find it challenging to channel the impact of technology towards a good course like accessing different materials to aid learning or form a group discussion where students can share ideas to help each other.

DR MADAN: Adversely , ZOOM has been adopted by 6 k Universities all over the world , but 'Zoom Fatigue' s taking its toll. had it been for a short time for some span of time whose end people knew , it may have worked. But as there is no END in sight, the procedure has become tiresome both on teacher and the taught!!

I agree with Ijaz Durrani sir; Zoom fatigue will come shortly. Its very difficult to adjust for both teacher as well as students.

This is really a bad situation as far as good students are concerned. But they will adjust to new ways of learning as man has come from the days of past historically.

Virtual classes haven't affected adult students especially college level and university level students as they can self-study when they get some tips from teachers. However, school level students have been affected much more as it is the time for socialization which they are now deprived of. Parental guidance and teacher guidance is necessary for them!!!

Interesting topic. Follow.

Students are gradually getting used to digital classrooms.

With the spread of mobiles, smart phones and other mobile/media devices, the use or the adoption of online teaching can be easy for the future generation of students. Due to COVID-19, the orientation of the decision makers is to take into account e-technology in our life. So, it is easier that the students will be the users of e-technology for good purposes and noble aims.

Thank you everyone for sharing your thoughts. Your contribution is highly appreciated. Take care!

Hi,

Some students think that distance learning is good. They can work and take the time they need. They sleep more and have more access to their parents.

Thanks for your response. Distance learning can transform your life.

Dear DR Batra: In my country, a nuclear though a developing state, the on line teaching has been an unmitigated disaster. It does not work barring a few noble , passionate teachers and a few cluster of students. ZOOM -fatigue , MS Teaching tool syndrome have all fallen through. Just imagine a teacher who has half a century of teaching experience , talking to a wall instead of facing his class physically. There may be an Internet disconnect at any time. unfortunately the students are at a loss they have their careers, academics, and lives at stake. I wouldn't be surprised if they go berserk if the status quo ante persists --out of 240 million that inhabit here ~ 65% are below the age of 35!! Kind regards--

Thanks for sharing interesting information Ijaz Durrani.
