VP Naidu said that this sudden shift towards an online mode of interaction has posed several challenges. “As we are aware, COVID-19 has impacted education in a big way globally, forcing educators and students alike to adapt to the online mode...While teachers and students are accustomed to the virtual mode of interaction, this rather dramatic shift has posed several challenges for them on many fronts, mainly because of the exclusive nature of contact. Students are detached from familiar patterns of academic interaction – they can no longer experience living with a community of learners and instructors,” the Vice President said.
