Özet:

Online teaching-learnings have perceived exponential growth due to sudden imposed lockdown to contain the spread of pandemic. The time was perceived as a golden opportunity for Open and Distance Learning (ODL) institutions to make the eLearning components as an essential part of teaching-learning process. The IGNOU has also adopted web-enabled measures to continue its teaching-learning. The present study insights the perception of ODL learners towards the abrupt change shift from face to face, ODL, blended learning to completely online learning without any preparation and planning. Though the eTools were appreciated by learners, there is still a need for greater awareness of these tools, particularly among freshly enrolled learners, in the context of IGNOU. Further in-depth study in this area is inevitable to better understand the concept and improve the practices of open, distance, and online learning.
