Learning rebooted online education during COVID-19 lockdown in Indian settings: an interview with academicians

COVID-19 pandemic has made a global impact in the past weeks and continues to impact most of the sectors, with the education sector being one of the most affected ones. Students across the world are losing valuable time in their education due to the lockdown imposed. But there are numerous online learning opportunities which they can access from their homes, thereby making good use of this lockdown period for skill enhancement. Most of India is at home these days amid a nationwide lockdown. And many are spending a lot of time online, largely in search of entertainment or education. But, just like the real world, the virtual one too has class privileges. So, while many universities and colleges are conducting online learning sessions, students from disadvantaged families or living in remote areas may not have access to Telegram, icloud or, indeed, the internet even in the best of times.

Here in the present article the researcher was conducted an online Interview of the faculty members, working in various Academic Institutions to collect their views related to Online Education System during the current situation. More than 20 Teachers and Academicians were talked to from different provinces across the country. In the present article some cases are present.  Everyone described this technology as the most suitable technology for the continuation of education smoothly at this critical time with some limitations.
