Abstract:

Educational institutions across India have been closed owing to the contagious COVID-19 pandemic. Teachers and students are compelled to adopt the virtual mode of teaching and learning. A student perception survey on remote online learning was carried out in an undergraduate college offering general degree education. The survey revealed that most students were satisfied with the quality of instruction and their learning. Students experienced internet connectivity issues which are predominant in rural areas. Findings suggest that governments and educational institutions must improve technological facilities so that students get used to blended learning, which is an approach that combines face-to-face and online learning experiences. Moreover, steps must be taken to ensure that teachers are trained to adopt the best online teaching methods to make the sessions more interactive and interesting.
