Abstract

Education institutions across the country are discontinued because of a countrywide lockdown initiated by the administration to restrain the dissemination of COVID-19. To make sure the continuity of learning, many institutions (domestic, national, international) commenced a secure and healthy contactless environment for teachers and students. Therefore, it is obvious that teacher and student view is a paramount factor in the adoption and implementation of new-age virtual teaching pedagogy. It is relevant to analyze the perceptions of understanding the reasons behind the high rate of using such a virtual platform for content delivery. The students and faculties who have been using these online portals were selected and filled the questionnaire which comprises closed as well as open-ended questions. The numbers of online portals at the school and university levels have been rapidly gaining momentum for the past few months. Therefore, a hybrid method of exploratory study was conducted to probe teacher and learner discernment of the effectiveness of prevailing content delivery modes. A snowball sampling technique is applied for selecting students and faculties who enrolled and experienced Web-based learning from various Indian universities and colleges. The answers were analyzed with the help of t-test and outcomes revealed a statistically significant difference in teaching–learning perceptions among the faculty and students on three variables, i.e., lack of human interface, dummy presence of students, online teaching consume more resources.
