“…Likewise, Subedi and Paudel (2020: 95–96) also observed the inadequacy of online learning in medical education, which offers instructive lectures for a lengthy period. The authors argue the absence of “preclinical laboratory exercises, community field postings, clinical postings, compulsory rotatory internships” calls into question the entire educational process.…”

“…The authors argue the absence of “preclinical laboratory exercises, community field postings, clinical postings, compulsory rotatory internships” calls into question the entire educational process. However, the modern advancement of ICT tools has worked as damage control and filled little space in the form of online classes (Subedi and Paudel, 2020: 56).

Almost all educational institutions across the globe jumped into online learning since the declaration of Covid-19 as a global pandemic. Nepali academic institutions from pre-primary schools to universities also entered into online learning. Such online learning aimed to control the educational damage threatened by the infectious pandemic and lingering lockdown. This study draws on 33 research papers to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) concerning online learning during Covid-19 in Nepal. In particular, the study investigates whether online learning created a digital divide or contributed to a positive contribution to the quality of delivery of education in Nepal in future. The systematic review finds that frequent power cuts, poor internet connectivity and inadequate ICT tools for online learning as the most common educational hindrances along with the loss of practical, applied activities and fieldwork for those studying technical subjects. The final SWOT analysis identified more weaknesses and threats in comparison to strengths and opportunities associated with online learning during Covid-19 in Nepal. However, if Nepal and her academic institutions minimize or redress the weaknesses, reinforce the existing strengths, institutionalize the opportunities, and mitigate the possible threats concerning online learning, the learning has the potential to become more effective. Certainly, there is a digital divide, but the study also identified the strengths and opportunities of online learning during Covid-19 that have stemmed the educational damage as a silver lining in the cloud of the Corona Virus.

COVID-19 outburst has caused a huge impact on the Indian education system. The sudden closure of schools for a social distancing measure and to prevent community transmission has transferred regular classes to online learning. Students are forced to utilise eLearning tools like mobile phones, laptops are used for the effective student engagement. These tools may have limitations of user-friendliness and affordability for many students. The pandemic has revealed the inadequacies of the current education system. The need for more training of educators in digital technology is required so as to adapt to the rapidly changing education climate of the world. The use of eLearning tools and virtual education may become an essential part of the Indian education system even after pandemic. To ensure students' learning outcomes and standards of educational quality, education institutions need to plan for compatible teaching and learning strategies.
