What is Online Platform

One of the worsts hit by the COVID-19 pandemic has been the education sector, which has led to the closure of all educational institutions. Hence, an effort has been made in this study to examine various issues and challenges of digital education in Odisha. The study found that most of the educational institutions in Odisha have gone for online teaching. Additionally, to promote e-learning, various digital platforms have been provided by the state and central governments. But digital education in Odisha is facing many challenges like uneven access of internet and digital gadgets, low tele density, lack of support structures, low computer literacy, and less competency. Additionally, power cut, financial constraints, lack of parent's involvement in the process are some of the issues that are adding woes to the effectiveness of digital education in teaching and learning process. Hence, there is need to evolve a judicious mix of normal and digital education with revised curricular post-COVID-19 to provide more learning opportunities for the all-around development of the students.
