The education system has been brought to a halt due to pandemics around the globe. This study outlines the effect of Covid-19 on the teaching-learning perception of faculties and students of higher education in India. The recent pandemic has provided an impetus for the improvements in teaching and implementation of virtual education. Given the lack of information about how long the pandemic will go on, the demand for the current crisis is a steady move to e-education. The authority has introduced several e-platforms with online shops, e-contents, and other online material. Combining conventional technology (radio, TV, landline phone) with mobile/web technologies would improve connectivity and versatility with all tools. The paper employed a quantitative method to examine the perceptions of teachers and students’ perceptions of e-teaching and e-learning methods. It underlined the application practice of online teaching-learning modes by considering 500 respondents. This study aims to give a holistic view of the ongoing online teaching-learning activities during the pandemic lockdown. The study also found no considerable difference between teacher/learner satisfaction during this academic disruption. Soil recommendations, managerial implications, future scope and conclusion can also be helpful for policymakers, academics, and content analytics to draw a plan of action for e-learning.

This study examines factors influencing patients' adoption of the IoT for e-Health Management System (e-HMS). A conceptual framework is built by applying the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model to achieve the research objectives. The constructs viz. performance expectations, perceived healthcare threat, facilitation, and trust were employed to analyze the behaviour intention of healthcare IoT devices in the medical context. A questionnaire was prepared and circulated to 210 IoT healthcare users. Further, a synergy of Smart-PLS and ANN was used to determine factors influencing adopting the IoT for e-HMS. The study yields a novel insight that would render vital benefits to users and service providers. The outcomes of this research can assist IoT inventors, medicinal specialists, and vendors to enhance the optimization of e-HMS. The results make some new reporting facts to improve IoT 4.0 practices in the e-healthcare system and structural model assessment.
