Abstract:
COVID-19 has fundamentally reshaped the way global higher education is delivered. When the novel corona virus grew into a worldwide pandemic, school districts around the world made a tough decision to close their doors—forcing an abrupt and almost universal change to distance learning that proved disruptive for teachers, pupils, and parents alike. As a result, universities are rapidly shifting how they communicate and operate to meet the evolving needs of staff, students and parents. The corona virus pandemic is not only transforming the way we live, it's even changing the way we learn. The education sector is facing a huge impact as a result of COVID19, with universities forced to shift their face-to-face teaching to online teaching. For teachers, the shift to online education has meant rethinking lesson plans to fit a very different format. While some believe that the unplanned and rapid move to online learning – with no training, insufficient bandwidth, and little preparation – will result in a poor user experience that is unconducive to sustained growth, others believe that a new hybrid model of education will emerge, with significant benefits. Online teaching in its entirety is dependent on technological devices and internet, instructors and students with bad internet connections are liable to be denied access to online teaching. Lack of appropriate materials and resources, Technical problems, Lack of in-service training, difficulty in assembling all the students for the class, Lack of cooperation from the parents, Lack of internet facilities to the students, difficulty to follow up the learning of students are the major challenges faced by them. Further, teachers have a highly positive and favourable attitude towards online teaching but due to lack of efficacy and training in online mode of teaching they feel that they can teach better in traditional teaching. So, the present paper has focused on the challenges to online teaching during pandemic and some tips for making online teaching better.
