➔ Distance learning:
Distance learning as “form of education in which the main elements
include physical separation of teachers and students during instruction
and the use of various technologies to facilitate student-teacher and
student-student communication”. In a broad sense, distance learning is a
term often used synonymously with online learning, e-learning, distance
education, correspondence education, external studies, flexible learning,
and massive open online courses (MOOCs). Common features of any
form of distance learning are: the teacher-learner separation by space or
time, or both, and the use of media and technology to enable
communication and exchange during the learning process despite this
separation.

➢ Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education:
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected educational systems
worldwide, leading to the near-total closures of schools, early
childhood education and care services, universities and colleges.
Most governments decided to temporarily close educational
institutions in an attempt to reduce the spread of COVID-19. More
than 1 billion children are at risk of falling behind due to school
closures aimed at containing the spread of COVID-19.
❏ How is the education sector responding to COVID-19?
In response to significant demand, many online learning platforms
are offering free access to their services, including platforms like
BYJU’S, a Bangalore-based educational technology and online
tutoring firm founded in 2011, which is now the world’s most highly
valued edtech company. Since announcing free live classes on its
Think and Learn app, BYJU’s has seen a 200% increase in the
number of new students using its product, according to Mrinal
Mohit, the company's Chief Operating Officer.
Conclusion
To sum up, students’ opinions and levels of satisfaction vary significantly,
ranging from positive to negative. Distance learning for the reason any
time and everywhere learning. Distance learning has a positive effect on
achievement and learning. Staying at home is safe during pandemics
and less stressful for students. Distance education prompts some
physical and psychological health problems such as fear, anxiety, stress,
and losing concentration. Due to the pandemic’s quick move to online
education, many schools have an insufficient infrastructure. Future
researchers can investigate what distance education models can be that
will eliminate the complaints of students. Students’ positive attitudes and
levels of satisfaction with their distant education programs have an
impact on their ability to profit from the program. Consequently, schools
wishing to implement distant education should begin by developing a
structure, content, and pedagogical approach that would improve the
satisfaction of their students. According to the findings of the study, there
is no universally applicable magic formula since student satisfaction
differs depending on the country, course content, and external factors.
