Online learning is a form of education for when we need distance from each other while learning.

We
use online learning today because of the pandemic so that students will not have risks of getting
infected by the coronavirus.

The WHO or World Health Organization announced COVID-19 as a global pandemic on March 11, 2020.
The government made the people go quarantined so they will not get infected. Because of this virus, we
have to use online learning. Online learning is the thing we use for learning and communicating with
teachers and other students without getting infected by the virus. Some students say that online
learning is stressful for them and some say that it is easier for them. A survey reported that compared to
seventy-eight percent of students who were in the classroom full time, and eighty-two percent of
students who were in the classroom on some days, eighty-four percent of remote students reported
that they are experiencing exhaustion, headaches, insomnia, or other stress-related ailments.

Online learning is one of the imminent trends in the education sector around the globe. This mode of
learning is done through the internet. With advanced and upgraded technologies, this mode of learning
has been made simpler. Online Education is also preferred in higher learning Institutions.

]Online (virtual) education is a convenient and flexible way of acquiring higher education. Unlike the
tradi tional approach to education where the learner has to go to a physical campus, online programs
can be pur sued by anyone who has access to an internet device from any part of the world with no
need to physically visit the institution. For instance, for someone who is in the rural areas and cannot
relocate or commute on daily basis to the physical location of the university which is probably located
tens or hundreds of miles away, online programs give him the chance to achieve his dream. He can
study and take examinations right from the comfort of his living room. This way, one can undertake
other activities such as a job, while at the same time studying. In modern days where wireless internet
connection is found in most parts of the world, access to vir tual learning is greater than in the past.
Online education further proves to be relatively cheaper in comparison to traditional educational ap
proaches. Under traditional university programs, the students are required to pay for textbooks,
transportation, institutional facilities such as physical libraries, gyms, swimming pools among other costs
that push the cost of university education up. Online education, on its part, charges only for tuition and
other obligatory charges. Virtual learning thus presents both the affluent and the poor a chance.

The outbreak of coronavirus disease is a form of pandemic which spread all over the world.

So, the lockdown has been implemented worldwide due to the coronavirus epidemic, which led to the
shutdown of all services except the country’s emergency services.

Even the school and college have also been closed. and covid-19 pandemic transformed the way
education was delivered.

Governments issued instructions to the school, college, teachers that all students be taught online at
home during the lockdown.

So that the future of students does not decline and they can continue their studies.

Online Learning to Prevent the Spread of Pandemic Corona Virus in Indonesia


Recently traditional forms of learning have been developed new technologies. Cosequently, more and
more people are choosing to improve skills using online learning. Majority of people say it is beneficial
whereas others argue that online education has disadvantages as well. People are in search of many
new ways of learning. One of the most popular methods is online learning. Unfortunatelly, this manner
has not only advantantages but and disadvantages. Online method of education are advantageous for
many reasons. First of all, it is a very convenience. A human can use a computer access and Internet
connection anywhere, for example, at home, outdoor or even on a bus. This benefit is especially
important for people who live in remote ar rural areas and cannot recolate or commute to school.
However, it is also useful for parents who want to study young children at home or any student who
prefers to work in the comfort of their own home or coffee. Moreover, online learning is more cheaper
than traditional classroom academic or trade course. These courses are unpaid. Students can save
money. For example, they do not have to pay for course of fees. On the other hand, online learning has
the negative aspects. To begin with, limited social interaction prevents to study how much time an
individual wants. Always online programs give people a possibility of limited to use their programme.
Later students will have to pay money if they want to continue a course further. Furthermore, the only
method of communication of online learning is through e-mail, chat room or discussion groups. People
cannot interact with others to face to face. It is the unnatural cummunication way. Humans do not see
and feel relationship with classmates and feedbacks. In conclusion, online manner of education has both
pros and cons. In my mind, online learning is necessary for humans due to it relieves and accelerates a
method to deepen themselves skills.

]Online learning is the process of studying without having to physically


attending classes or lectures and mobile learning is to help online learning
more efficient by quickly being able to obtain information via the internet
through the smart phones we have today. By not having to physically attend
lectures, students are able to do their assignments anywhere.
]Online learning is a method of education whereby students learn in a fully virtual
environment. First introduced in the 1990s with the creation of the internet and
utilized in distance learning, online learning (also called e-learning) is most prevalent
in higher education, enabling students from different geographical areas to engage
with an academic institution and other students online and learn flexibly, at their own
pace, while working towards a degree or certificate.
Online learning refers to an internet-based learning environment that can connect
students of diverse backgrounds who boast different perspectives. A higher education
institution will use a learning management system, or LMS, to facilitate online
learning, which can take the form of asynchronous learning (where students are not
required to be online at the same time, and utilize discussion threads and e-mails to
complete coursework) or synchronous learning (where students must be online at the
same time).
When President Rodrigo Duterte declared last year that face-to-face classes
would be suspended because of the Covid-19 outbreak, the Department of
Education (DepEd) responded by developing the Basic Education Learning
Continuity Plan, which laid the groundwork for the implementation of
distance learning.

The K to 12 curriculum was reviewed to streamline the Most Essential


Learning Competencies to be delivered through module-based learning,
online learning, television- or radio-based instruction and blended learning or
a combination of two or more modes. The priority was the safety of students
and teachers, Education Undersecretary Diosdado San Antonio said, while
ensuring that the delivery of education continued.

With this sudden shift away from the classroom in many parts of the globe,
some are wondering whether the adoption of online learning will continue to
persist post-pandemic, and how such a shift would impact the worldwide
education market.

One year into the COVID-19 pandemic, close to half the world’s students are still
affected by partial or full school closures, and over 100 million additional children
will fall below the minimum proficiency level in reading as a result of the health
crisis. Prioritizing education recovery is crucial to avoid a generational catastrophe
as highlighted in a high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021.
UNESCO is supporting countries in their efforts to mitigate the impact of school
closures, address learning losses and adapt education systems, particularly for
vulnerable and disadvantaged communities. 
To mobilize and support learning continuity, UNESCO has established the Global
Education Coalition which today counts 160 members working around three central
themes: Gender, connectivity and teachers.
An online survey conducted by the multisectoral group Movement for Safe, Equitable, Quality and
Relevant Education (SEQuRE) found that 86.7% of students under modular learning, 66% under online
learning, and 74% under blended learning said they "learned less" under the alternative modes of
learning compared with the traditional face-to-face setup. The survey also found that only 5.4% under
the blended learning, 5.7% under modular learning, and 9.1% under online learning "learned more”. The
survey was conducted from June 25 to July 12 among 1,278 teachers, 1,299 Grades 4 to 12 students,
and 3,172 parents. Teachers' Dignity Coalition chairperson Benjo Basas said in a Rappler interview, “ …
while the teachers would always do their best to teach students under any circumstance, they didn't
have any control on how students would respond.”
