The Covid-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on nearly every facet of our life. From the beginning of the epidemic, the world of education saw a shift, with educational institutions around the world closing and online classes growing faster. This chain of events, which began in 2020, has resulted in an unexpected and widespread embrace of alternate teaching practices. Technology had been democratising education even before the pandemic. Virtual classrooms have now taken the place of face-to-face interactions in the classroom. Let's look at how Covid-19 has changed the way we learn and why this shift isn't going away. The new standard for education is digital learning. While online learning is not a new concept, Covid-19 acted as a catalyst for its expansion, resulting in broad adoption by schools and institutions all over the world. The rapid migration of classrooms to the digital medium has adapted both students and teachers. 1. Online classes are now the norm, not the exception. This transformation has occurred across the board, not just in K-12 education. Many students preparing for competitive exams have made the switch to digital learning. For UPSC, NEET, SSC, and JEE preparation, they are turning to online platforms like Unacademy. 2. Educators' roles are being altered. As more students rely on online programmes, the role of educators is changing as well. The days of teachers passively delivering lectures to transfer knowledge are long gone. Today's educators must act as mentors to help their students develop holistically, especially in difficult times like these. They can also use strong virtual technologies to make learning more engaging and enjoyable. They can pique the interest of young learners with engaging quizzes, stylized animations, after-class discussions, and other methods. 3. Increased learning flexibility While learning in a classroom requires students to focus for a set amount of time, online classes and modules provide a great deal of freedom. Unacademy, an online learning platform, allows students to learn at their own pace while also keeping track of their progress. In contrast to a classroom encounter that cannot be recorded, a student can watch a video several times. 4. The path to take Although physical interaction has long been a part of learning and teaching, online learning platforms have revolutionised the way we learn. Online learning platforms are here to stay, thanks to the ease and benefits they provide to both students and teachers. New guidelines about social separation will ensure that online lessons continue as schools and universities progressively reopen. From here, blended learning appears to be the way to go. 5. Online learning comes at a minimal cost Students have become more alert and attentive as a result of the online platform, as a paradigm was originally shattered and behaviours in class did not necessarily transfer to this new setting. Courses could be interactive and didn't have to be one-way, as many people assumed. Instead, faculty could use various tools such as screen-sharing, chat and whiteboards to engage and entice students to converse among themselves and with the faculty in order to produce a more effective learning experience.

The growing number of students seeking admission to academic institutions (schools, colleges, and universities) is putting immense strain on the administrative bodies of the institutions to manually manage and coordinate the admission process. It is challenging to carry out the process correctly and on schedule. As a result, the online admission system comes as a saviour to minimise the work of administrative staff in half. Managing admissions for a university / institute may be a major undertaking. There are universities and institutions where the entire admissions procedure is performed manually, which is extremely slow and time-consuming. To speed up and simplify activities, it's past time to abandon such manual procedures and replace them with an automatically made student online admission system, often known as e-Admission. The online admissions method combines technology with the administrative/educational process, resulting in a win-win situation for both the institution and the students. Importance of Admission Process It is becoming increasingly necessary for universities to use an online admission system as the number of students grows year after year. It is advantageous for both schools and applicants families to transition to an online admissions system for schools, where forms and application management platforms are totally cloud-based. A cloud-based admissions system may completely transform an admissions office, increasing efficiency, increasing accountability, and streamlining the process. Documents related with applications, such as identification evidence, proof of residence, and mark-lists, among other things, are no longer at risk of being misplaced because they are saved online and are associated with the relevant applicant. Why Online Admission? Every year, tens of thousands of students line up to receive admission / application forms, and then again to submit the admission / application forms they have previously collected in line. This leads to difficulties in processing applications, addressing enquiries and distributing forms, collecting forms and subsequently listing candidates that cause both parents and students to get irritated. Furthermore, the admission procedure is not clear and might lead to common malpractice. The purpose of the 'Online Admission System' is to automate the structure of the admission management system, as well as its associated functions and functionalities, in order to address these inadequacies. The goal is to help the administration and admission-seeking candidates by providing a speedier, more transparent, and simple manner to keep track of records and use them for reference and other purposes. How College/School Can Be Succeeded Through Online Admissions Admission and school admissions have become a highly unpleasant and time-consuming process. With the student population growing year after year, it has become critical for colleges to invest in a system that automates and facilitates the student admission process. By implementing a system such as an online admissions system, a college/school can achieve admission in a variety of fields. 1. Savings in Manpower – Institutes do not need to allocate additional manpower to manage large crowds. 2. Forms no longer need to be printed and stored. 3. It is no longer necessary to collect and file forms from all candidates. 4. Rapid and adaptable 5.

Everything from the way we purchase meals to the way we book taxis to the way we learn has been transformed by the Internet. This is true across all industries, including our education. Teachers have been using technology into their classrooms to make learning more engaging for students, while students have been primarily using the internet to conduct in-depth research on topics of interest. Online learning provides students with a good bandwidth and is a great way to learn. Similar to classroom education, though, it takes self-discipline, time-management, determination, and strong drive. The goal is to make the most of online education to its full potential. 1. Give online classes a high priority. Because this is a unique method of learning, there is a possibility that the students will not take it seriously, even though they will be monitored by their teachers. It should become a habit for students to attend their online classes with the utmost earnestness. There may be considerable difficulty in grasping a notion all at once. But don't be concerned about it. 2. Bridging the gap for teachers According to a survey by the Ministry for Human Resources and Development, the majority of institutions have fewer instructors than the amount required, which means that they cannot focus on every student in classrooms. This had resulted in the students being unable to make appropriate use of their time in the classes. But fresh breakthroughs are currently occurring with advancing technology. The education of information at the touch of a button has made the educational process more exciting and informative. Students get access to not only high-quality education but also to seasoned professionals and academics through the use of online learning. They make learning enjoyable by incorporating puzzles and quizzes into the curriculum to keep the children's attention. 3. Online learning costs are relatively inexpensive The entire education process has become more economical as a result of online learning. How? When you add up the overall cost of attending a college or university for higher education, you'll see that it's less than the one-time expense of online learning. Not only must the student pay for his or her education, but he or she must also pay for housing and transportation. Quality education is expensive, but with the development of e-learning materials, students can now get it for a fraction of the price. In traditional classroom learning, students need to spend money not just on education but also on accommodation and travel. Students can now obtain a high-quality education at a significantly cheaper cost because to the development of e-learning resources. 4. Not to mention traditional classroom teaching. We are grateful that the coronavirus pandemic has resulted in significant transformation in the education system, which is currently grappling with difficulties such as skill gaps, unemployment, obsolete curricula, a lack of hands-on practical experience, and a shortage of qualified educators. However, classroom education offers its own set of advantages. We can't rule out the possibility of traditional classroom education. In these difficult times, online education will undoubtedly help to close the gap in the education ecosystem while also providing the necessary opportunity for progress.
