MAIN BODY
Negative effects of E learning on students also supporting this statement with examples
E learning is the process of providing training and development to the students using
internet, audio, video. This includes the interactive classes and the courses for the different
programs which are being delivered completely on the internet. But E learning is impacting
negatively as well as positively to the students with some or the other aspect.
Considering the negative impact of E learning on students:
1. Limited feedback: E learning gives negative effect to the student as it does not provide
the immediate feedback. By studying traditionally in the classroom provide the students
face to face interactions and also the feedback. Students in the classroom were able to
solve their problems quickly and directly by the lectures. But with e learning the
feedback provided as that of the classroom doesn't work in the learning concept for the
students who are completing regular assignments (Lee, Song and Hong, 2019). Not
Providing the immediate feedback gives negative impact on the student. Example: The
positive phrases to assist the students and the face to face interaction between the lectures
for problem solving by giving the feedback will not practise in e learning as it can result
in the traditional learning.

2. E learning leads towards lack of self motivation and Time Management skills : As
the lack of motivation in the students will lead them towards failure to complete the
online course, which gives the negative impact on the students. With e learning the
students will get so comfortable, that there will be no pressure on the students for
learning the materials which are complex in nature. So for this reason it gives the
negative impact on the students which lack the self motivation and also does not give the
regular deadlines with the time management skills.
This negative effect can be improved by the time management skills, self motivating with the
discipline skills in the online learning environment. Face to face communication should
encourage for enhancing the online learning from the videos. Example: there will be no virtual
leaning environment for the students and no instructor for the students, no discussion board will
be present the lectures, this will lead towards eyesight issues, headaches, strain will cause the
lack of motivation and concentration in the students (Abdullah, Toycan and Anwar, 2017). From
this the students will be exposed to the stress and the anxiety which will further result in the
complete loss in the physical well-being of the students.
3. Cheating during the online assessment leads the negative impact it lacks honesty:
This is the biggest negative impact on the students where e learning continuous to be with
cheating through various methods. Compared to the offline learning in online learning
students are not taking the examinations seriously and also the assignments. With
Learning online students are not giving the personal attention to the assignments. As they
are providing the work of assignments to the other people not working on their own,
handwritten assignments are also reduced and cheating in the examination further
increases in the e learning concept (De Michele, 2020). Example: During the online
assessment exams the cheating is unavoidable by the students, as there are no teachers
and the invigilators for watching the students during exams ,so this further result in the
ease for the students to give the exam online knowing that there is nobody watching.
Positive effects of E learning online learning on students also supporting this statement with
examples
1. Saves time and money, effective approach: E learning helps the individuals in saving
the time and money by managing their schedules accordingly. With the e learning
students can manage their personal life, and it is also convenient as the students can learn

from the online downloading, e learning videos according to their time schedule. It can
be in the morning, late afternoon, evening. Moreover, this further benefits in saving the
cost of transportation which is cost effective for the students and also for many
institutions save money with this approach (Mehta and et.al., 2019). As there will be no
need of physical classroom set up, which results in reducing in the monetary expenditure.
Example: saves time for travelling at the training venue, instead the student will be
comfortable in learning at their own place.
2. Quick delivery of lesson: The e learning provides the quick delivery of the lessons with
the quick delivery cycles. The time required for learning is reduced up to 60% which is
being required in the traditional learning. Example: projects and lessons for the classes
which starts quickly and being wrapped before some time. This also provides the students
for choosing the specific and relevant areas of the learning material without focusing on
every element of learning, the students will be able to skip certain areas that they are not
likely to learn.
3. Vast e-content : The online learning environment will build the smooth and the fact
based e data. With a good deal of software in the e learning students can get access to the
vast content and the study material (Panigrahi, Srivastava and Sharma , 2018). Vast e
content will boost the brain of the students and provide the healthy learning style.
Example: vast e-content for the students from the institutions will provide e books, video
lessons, PDF, PPT, and the personalized e notes from the teacher.
Recommendations for E learning environment provided to the students will be best for meeting
the increasing demand during pandemic COVID-19
With the increase of the variant disease across the globe COVID-19 has resulted in
closing many educational institutions for the definite period. This situation challenged the
educational system across the world to shift the education on an online mode as the concept of e
learning. It was adopted by the educational institutions which has considered to be the best for
providing the education and knowledge to the students at the tougher time. From this analysis it
can be recommended:
 Many transformations in the teaching process and the learning activities for the students
were carried out in order to continue the academic courses for avoiding the risk and the
spread of infection.

 E learning has provided the benefits as group discussions were carried out synchronously
with the help of online communication, this will help and guide the new way of learning

 As with the e learning many educational institutions has offered the free access for the
educations. Educational apps mainly BYJUS .
 In the starting of the E learning concept while adopting online learning, the teachers

place in the dynamic environment.

developing the advanced skills. E learning has impacted positively as well as negatively on the
lives of students. E learning is majorly supporting students in redefining and transmitting the
knowledge, skills and values in various fields. E learning has improved the student's perception,
