Remote Learning

Abstract

Educational institutions based on traditional learning follow the setup of face-to-face lectures in a classroom. The dramatic outbreak of COVID-19 shook the world. It has been declared a pandemic by WHO. It has profoundly impacted the global economy. It has affected the education sector, and this fright is doubtless to resonate globally. The COVID pandemic forced countless institutions to stay shut temporarily. This challenged the education sector worldwide and forced educators to shift to a remote mode of teaching. Academic institutions have to alter old-fashioned pedagogical approaches and shift entirely to remote teaching-learning. There is an urgent requirement to cater to students, faculty, academic staff, communities, societies, and the nation. This study includes the importance of remote learning and strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and challenges of remote learning during the crisis. It also includes the probable strategies to be adopted by the stakeholders of childhood and elementary education to deal with challenges associated with remote learning.
