Online Teaching Learning Examining
With
the start of this century the term e-learning also referred as online teaching
and learning has been coined. Soon it became a popular way to reach individual
at remote location. The medium for this teaching learning process is completely
based on internet facility. The annual average growth in number of students
from year 2001to year 2004 was 24% and it is still continuing. Most of the
school, college and universities agreed that online education is critical in
longer term but after this pandemic (Covid-19) it became as only option for
continuing the process of teaching learning. It also added the assessment of students
into teaching and learning. The best thing about this is the flexibility in
every aspect like timing, pace, mobility etc. Several course management tools
came into picture for continued assessment through assignment, quizzes, test
etc and competition turned into open source tools availability.
Variety
of communication platform also came in existence to handle connectivity issues
and offline learning. Initially the tools very having the capability of audio
communication but later added feature and video, chat, screen sharing,
security, white board etc. The advantages are many but disadvantages are also
their like less responsiveness of participants, excuse of connectivity,
annotations, continuous monitoring, cheating during examination, that is only possible
in physical mode. It has been also observed that behaviour of students is
changing and group activity and participation is getting lesser. The monotonous
one sided teaching is only taking place and learning is effective cant not be
assured. Being the only possible option in current scenario it continues to be
used but it can never substitute the actual class room teaching learning. The
effectiveness of class room teaching learning is maximum because of discussion,
involvement, participation is bounded by the teacher is appropriate manner to
achieve the ultimate goal.
