Education sector suffered as students were sent back to homes and schools, colleges and universities were shut down. But steps were taken and the education teaching system was shifted from offline to online mode. This research project examines the educational pedagogy which has been adapted in online mode of teaching due to post COVID-19 lockdown. It seeks to discover the pros and cons of online teaching vis-a-vis the ways of offline conduct of classes. The data for the project has been gathered in the form of an online survey in which both teachers and students were given questionnaires which are used to map and understand different pedagogical choices during online teaching. It also tries to highlight the comparative value, compatibility and usefulness of digital mode of learning.
