Abstract: Despite the COVID-19 breakthrough, all educational institutions across the globe have drastically collapsed. Close to 168 million students are out of school in the year 2020. To keep their academic syllabus functional, most educational founding has transitioned to online-based education. Typically, in developing nations such as India, they would rely on conventional learning techniques. I.e., students take part in a face-to-face physical education program in a classroom. Whereas virtual education began with blended learning, there are still certain traditional procedures that are not merged with the teaching processes. Through an online survey of 100 students using a detailed scientific framework, we emphasize analyzing each student’s perspective and decisions for e-learning. According to the questionnaire’s findings, 45% of students preferred offline teaching with face-to-face classroom instruction. In comparison, 55% of students were found to be influential in promoting virtual learning. This research paper highlights the impact of web-based learning and a SWOC analysis of the e-learning category after the COVID-19 disaster. We concluded that good virtual course teaching depends on the following criteria: 1) technical and interface characteristics, 2) subject area characteristics, 3) student roles and course teaching assignments, and 4) information sharing. The unplanned shift to digital education has been a challenge for students and teachers alike, but clearly it is quick to adjust to the new situation. It is hoped that the publication of this paper will stimulate continued discussion of productive strategies that can improve the success of universities and colleges in their transition to online teaching.
