Emerging Challenges in Online Education in The Advent of New Age Technologies
Online Education, a term commonly used in the recent years because of the advent of Covid
19, has become a part and parcel of the modern curriculum starting from the colleges,
schools and even to the Kinder-gardens also. Online education is mostly fuelled by the
advancements in technology and the global accessibility of the internet. But there are
several challenges that are emerging that impact the landscape of online education. Some of
the commonly faced are as follows:
Screen Fatigue:
Prolonged screen time can lead to fatigue and eyestrain, affecting students' focus and overall
well-being. And for this reason they are suffering from eye stains and other ailments in the
later stage of time.
Home Environment:
The home environment varies for each student and may not always be conducive to
learning. Distractions, noise, or lack of a dedicated study space can impede the learning
process.
Emotional Well-being:
The isolation and stress associated with online learning may impact students' emotional
well-being, leading to feelings of loneliness, anxiety, or frustration.
And lastly as we embrace the possibilities offered by new age technologies in online
education, it is crucial to acknowledge and address the emerging challenges. Bridging the
digital divide, improving technological infrastructure, ensuring content quality, enhancing
learner engagement, addressing assessment issues, and providing ongoing professional
development for educators are vital steps toward creating a robust and inclusive online
education environment. By tackling these challenges head-on, the education sector can
harness the full potential of technology to deliver high-quality, accessible, and innovative
learning experiences for students around the world. Addressing these challenges requires a
collaborative effort from educators, institutions, and policymakers to create a supportive
online learning environment and provide necessary resources for students.
