Abstract

Even before COVID-19, online education is already experiencing high growth and adoption. Whether it is language application, virtual tutoring, video conferencing tool, or online learning software, there has been a significant surge in usage since COVID-19. In this unprecedented and uncertain time, most people are encouraged to study at home and work from home. On one hand, there are many challenges to online education, especially with the sudden transition. Many instructors and students have little or no training in online education. Other issues such as insufficient bandwidth and missing hardware and software are common. On the other hand, this presents an unforeseen and golden opportunity for a wider student population to experience online education. This will likely change the perception of students on online education and may trigger a wider online education adoption after the pandemic. Educational research is a key factor in the transformation of how we teach, as societies evolve. According to a recent survey, almost 40 million students in the country are facing academic recession despite the ongoing online and pre-recorded classes to avert the great blow already upon them. It is no denial that this online learning paradigm should be addressed following the outcome based education approach in no time. More action researches are needed to see the real scenario of e-education in Bangladesh.
