Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has created the largest disruption of education systems in human history, affecting nearly 1.6 billion learners in more than 200 countries. Closures of schools, no, and other learning spaces have impacted more than 94% of the world’s student population. This situation challenged the education system across the world and forced educators to shift to the online mode of teaching overnight. Many academic institutions that were earlier reluctant to change their traditional pedagogical approach had no option but to shift entirely to online teaching-learning and assessment. The paper discusses the importance of online learning not just in times of crisis, but the need of the hour to innovate and implement online teaching as an alternative educational system. The lesson learned from the COVID-19 pandemic is that teachers and students/learners should be oriented on the use of different online educational tools. By looking at the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, & Challenges of e-learning modes, the importance and areas of preparedness have also been discussed.
