Educational institutions (schools, colleges, and universities) in India are
currently based only on traditional methods of learning, that is, they follow the
traditional set up of face-to-face lectures in a classroom. Although many
academic units have also started blended learning, still a lot of them are stuck
with old procedures. The sudden outbreak of a deadly disease called Covid-19
caused by a Corona Virus (SARS-CoV-2) shook the entire world. The World Health
Organization declared it as a pandemic. This situation challenged the education
system across the world and forced educators to shift to an online mode of
teaching overnight. Many academic institutions that were earlier reluctant to
change their traditional pedagogical approach had no option but to shift entirely
to online teaching?learning. The article includes the importance of online
learning and Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, & Challenges (SWOC) analysis
of e-learning modes in the time of crisis. This article also put some light on
the growth of EdTech Start-ups during the time of pandemic and natural disasters
and includes suggestions for academic institutions of how to deal with challenges
associated with online learning.
