The recent discussions on higher education in Kerala will be break in earlier mode of teaching-learning concept. Newer ways of debate is ongoing throughout all the strata of the society.
There was no such proper way to send feedback or doubts to course provider.
The health issues regarding the continuous listening through internet was never addressed by the teacher.
As a teacher, online courses are time-consuming, and we can't identify students' understanding levels of given content.
1. as a teacher
no way to give individual attention to learners having different grasping levels.
2. as a learner
the interaction between tutor and learner is less in online teaching.
1.Proper interaction is not possible with students
2.Less experience in online learning
Not able to sustain attention.
Need more engaging sessions.
Individual attention to students is not possible. getting responds from students is a difficult task. A lot of time to prepare presentations and sitting before the computers induced heath issues

Issues for handling the social spaces of students
1. Lack of peer group discussions
2. Unable to do practicals
Reflection on teaching is more important than how they reflect
Face to face interaction was not possible. As a teacher, the communication was incomplete.
As a learner, proper communication was not done.
Reflection on Teacher perspective:
We were unable to ensure Student engagement
Reflection on Student perspective:
Due to the monotonous activities, following the course online was very boring
In the present scenario I think we have to do different certificate courses. For that we encourage these type of workshops.
As a teacher, I have experienced several issues during online teaching. There was no proper response from the part of the students. Further the attendance rate was low. Proper mentoring of the students was not possible. It was difficult to teach problem papers.
During the online classes, sustaining attention was too difficult.
A blended model of teaching is essential in the current scenario which is more beneficial for both the teachers and students.
Lack of training to carry out effective online classes.
Network issues.
Student engagement problems.
Assessment issues.
1. Network Issues, Passive learners, Health Issues like Back pain, eyesight etc, cann't give emotional support to students effectively
2. Network Issues, Lack of Interest, Health Issues, Average and below average students cann't follow, lack of gadgets
Couldn't differentiate the active and passive listeners during the time of course imparting.
Couldn't find adequate easy solutions to develop interactive contents to handle the online class.
1. Was not able to monitor the attention of students while teaching
2. Network issues
It was difficult to grab the attention of the students. This did add to the difficulty I faced as a teacher in assessing them effectively.
1. Students attention problem
2. Lack of classroom experience
1. Less attendance
2. Network issues
3. Problems related to proper Assessment
Teaching and learning in online platform provides less room to establish emotional connectivity between teachers and students.
How did you handle connectivity issues during Covid period?
We faced data connection issues and weak signals during this period.
