印度的教育机构（学校、学院和大学）目前只基于传统的学习方法，也就是说，他们遵循传统的课堂面对面授课的方式。虽然许多学术单位也开始了混合式学习，但其中许多仍然停留在旧的程序上。一种由冠状病毒（SARS-CoV-2）引起的致命疾病COVID-19的突然爆发震撼了整个世界。世界卫生组织宣布它为大流行病。这种情况对世界各地的教育系统提出了挑战，迫使教育工作者在一夜之间转向在线教学模式。许多早期不愿改变传统教学方法的学术机构别无选择，只能完全转向在线教学。本文包括在线学习的重要性和优势，弱点，机遇和挑战（SWOC）分析的电子学习模式在危机时期。本文还介绍了在疫情和自然灾害期间教育科技初创企业的发展情况，并为学术机构提供了如何应对在线学习相关挑战的建议。
Educational institutions (schools, colleges, and universities) in India are currently based only on traditional methods of learning, that is, they follow the traditional set up of face-to-face lectures in a classroom. Although many academic units have also started blended learning, still a lot of them are stuck with old procedures. The sudden outbreak of a deadly disease called Covid-19 caused by a Corona Virus (SARS-CoV-2) shook the entire world. The World Health Organization declared it as a pandemic. This situation challenged the education system across the world and forced educators to shift to an 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. The article includes the importance of online learning and Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, & Challenges (SWOC) analysis of e-learning modes in the time of crisis. This article also put some light on the growth of EdTech Start-ups during the time of pandemic and natural disasters and includes suggestions for academic institutions of how to deal with challenges associated with online learning.
