ONLINE LEARNING, TEACHING & COVID-19: HOW WILL THE PANDEMIC AFFECT TEACHERS

Abstract

Modern technologies have made traditional teaching method evolve from its inactive
way in this pandemic situation due to the outbreak of infectious COVID-19 all over the
world. At the same time, if digital learning method seeks it’s own identity or effectiveness
by eliminating the teacher-learner bond, the way of learning seems absurd. The
reality is that traditional teaching method wants the fullest flourishing of its aspects
not only at the time of pandemic situation when the main target is to keep ourselves
safe at home but for a long run also through the advent of educational technologies.
Replacing teachers or traditional ways of learning is not the right way. To keep ourselves
safe at home as well as not to refrain from developing our personal skills and
knowledge, the main objective of the study is therefore to point out the challenges
regarding virtual classroom and observing its diversity. Research methodology consequently
depends on the detailed examination of review of the literature and secondary
resources by collecting data using virtual modality. Therefore, the paper tries to give
reasons and find out possible ways to access online education using self- contained
modules and utilizing technology as the backbone of education system. Now, lack of
training and experiences and lack of awareness among both teachers and learners
have compelled the whole teaching- learning process to walk forward with frequent
halts in the post COVID-19 environment. In order to take these issues and drawbacks
in account and to establish a digital learning system, sincerity and flexibility among
both the teachers and students will be required. An infographic, proposed revolution
of teaching- learning method can be designed in a dynamic way with the help of ad-vanced technology and multimedia
tools modernizing the human
race. Thus this present study highlights
that pedagogical solution
to the key problem of increasing
complexities of teaching-learning
process is made possible due to
the facilitations offered by ICT
