WHAT IS IN THE PRESENTATION ABOUT?
• The PPT contains my point of view
about online teaching, brief about
my experience how the education
on internet overall impacted. It
includes explanation about what
actually the concept is. How it has
changed student’s life in good
and adverse way (Bazelais,
Doleck, and Lemay, 2018).

DEFINITION OF ONLINE LEARNING?
• It is a method of education which is
carried out through information
technology. It is a form of distance
learning where students, teachers and
resources are present virtually. In this
medium of study where there is no need
of any situation, learner get access to
studies anywhere at any point of time.
The education is carried out through
mobiles, smartphones, laptops, or
computer system (Bradley, 2021).

ADVANTAGE OF ONLINE LEARNING
• In the recent past during spread of covid-19 in the
entire world, due to various restrictions schools and
college were asked to stop offline classes. At this
point of time education could be continued because
of this method only. Hence, it can have said that:
• It removes the barrier of geographical location
access of teaching.
• It is also helpful for students who wants work as
well as continue their studies.
• Students get access to e-resources which contains
worldwide information deeper and understandable
(Mällinen, 2018).

DISADVANTAGE OF ONLINE LEARNING
• In the scenarios analysed about the mental health of
people in UK, it was discovered that many young
adults suffered depression and anxiety during the
lockdown situations. One of the main reason could be
blamed was excess usage of electronic devices.
• In this type of learning internet access is the basic
need, student continuously surfing on the internet can
damage their eye and create health related issues.
• When education takes place in group, teams with
peers’ new insights are discovered which makes the
mind more innovative.
• Students who are shy to speak remain dormant and
real learning fails to take place (Mason, 2018).

MY PREFERENCE FOR THE COMING TERM
• As of my point of view, I was more efficient and active when I
was physically present in the lectures. Getting to clear doubts
on the spot and interaction with the tutors were
comparatively easier in the offline mode. However, through
e-education too, I got to learn a lot of thing through the
internet. But there is comparatively more limitation in case of
online studies. Hence, I would like to go for offline learning in
my second term.

CONCLUSION
• From the presentation, evaluation made on e-education, it is
quite clear that educations needed diversification. Online
education is the upgradation; this is very flexible medium
which can be relied upon. Hence, further education can be
continued in hybrid mode, so that students and teacher’s
preference could be addressed and literacy rate reaches its
maximum
