Abstract

Due to COVID-19, education institutes shifted to online modes of instruction and assessment to keep a safe social distance. There has been a tremendous shift towards online learning through the Indian Government’s digital initiatives. Online courses exploded over the past couple of years in popularity, satisfying the needs of almost educational institutions. ‘Online education’ refers to a method of instruction wherein students engage in learning through the use of internet-connected computers at home. The study aims to analyse student’s perceptions of online education in India. Receptiveness towards online learning in India during the COVID-19 lockdown period was significantly higher for student’s from urban areas compared with rural areas. With the advent of the ‘National Education Policy (NEP)’ 2020, online education has become very relevant at this stage. The policy recognises the potential advantages of such measures but stipulates that the digital gap must be addressed before it can be fully implemented in the Karnataka State.
