Abstract

The spread of pandemic Covid-19 has severely affected every aspect of human life including the education. The extended lockdown period for the Covid-19 pandemic has forced the schools, colleges and other educational institutions to shut down which has hampered the educational system all over the country. This situation has challenged the educational system across the country and forced the teachers to shift to an online mode of teaching overnight. As the digital learning process has become more prevalent in the world due to Covid-19 pandemic, it is important to know about its significance and its limitations in the present era. The purpose of this paper is to understand the main concept of digital learning and to emphasize the impact of digital learning on the education system of the country. Some fruitful strategies and suggestions are also pointed out for the academic institutions to deal with the challenges associated with the digital learning effectively and make the students more successful in a digital learning environment during this pandemic situation.
