The field of education is constantly evolving. This has led to the disruption of current pedagogies being used and impacts the way teachers teach and students learn. The new wave of learning and education is influenced by the amalgamation of technology and teaching while focusing on continuous learning. Besides empowering students to be active learners, the new form of education lays emphasis on making learning content available and easily accessible outside the classroom. This new method of education is called ‘Online Education’ and is often referred to as eLearning.

• Quality education at affordable costs

• Accessible to anyone around the world from the comforts of wherever they are

• Ensures continuous learning, reskilling and up skilling

• Allows students to be part of a global classroom, thereby broadening perspectives and encouraging a world view on various subjects

Owing to the pandemic, digital education has received a massive impetus. The current COVID-19 pandemic has led to a temporary closure of most educational institutes. To limit the disruption of education, UNESCO has proposed the use of distance learning and online education for schools, teachers, and students.
