Academia adapting to e-Learning: A survey on Indian engineering educational

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic caught the world off guard with its precipitance and virulence alike. Forced indoors, the human race is learning to stay indoors and work from home. Among the sectors hit hard, education is probably the worst hit as it affects the future. Trying to adapt to the online mode of learning, teachers and students are grappling alike with technology, attention spans, traditions and the like. This paper, based on a survey conducted among engineering students in India, tries to figure out the major problems faced by students in adapting to e-Learning. The responses have been classified based on the area covered in the question and analyzed. The findings, some trivial, some sensitive while some being eye-opening, would certainly contribute to policy framing initiatives of the government and private agencies investing in e-Learning.
