Literature Review:
To acknowledge the concept of virtual learning environment
According to Victoria Puzhevich, (2020), Virtual learning is a system under which online
applications and platforms are used in order to maintain interaction between faculty members
and students. It is often used in higher studies where students look for flexibility during studies.

platform to take sessions as there are no fixed time period of classes. Students can also go
through with recorded sessions. There is also feature to ask the query from on timely basis. So,
students can get answer of their query in timely manner which further help in making a bright
career. In contrast of traditional approach virtual platform also have mechanism to provide
feedbacks immediately through which students can improve their week areas effectively. Apart

approaches methods for learning. Apart from this, there are also some adverse impacts of virtual
environment as in this students and teachers cannot interact with each other personally. Here,
lack of personal touch can hamper the concentration of student. It is often analyzed that in online
