Online Learning is increasingly becoming more popular as seen by the decreasing number of students who only study in traditional classrooms in the education sector.

Digital learning comes with a few challenges and in general the following pictographic representation are the generic ones:

Let’s look at specifics in detailed as follows:

a) Resistance to Adopt:

The biggest impediment to technological change is the fear factor of the people (and resources) affected by the change. All the collaborators within the online learning community via teachers, parents, administrators, higher management etc, mostly have been/are stuck with the good old ways of learning still. Embracing to going digital ways of learning is a tedious task and is taking time, without a choice.

b) IT Support and Infrastructure:

All the collaborators face this issue, students and teachers in particular are the most affected ones. Most schools (educational institutions) do not have IT infrastructure that can support the learning methodologies and hence the pedagogy and the digital curriculum of the respective school.

IT support should also assist in fast and bulk downloads required for online textbooks.

c) Embracing Technology Changes:

Online curriculum needs to be constantly updated and should be on par with upgrading online learning platforms with the advance in technology.

Technology changes also have an impact on the existing content networks which is a major keyplayer for facilitating continuity in learning for educational institutions.

d) Content:

Online learning in schools (and educational institutions) must incorporate interactive and rich media content in various forms and is just not limited to converting existing content and books in printed format to eTextbooks in digital format.

Curating content is time-consuming and requires more effort which increases the implementation costs gradually.

Conclusion:

Online Learning gradually is witnessing an uprise for adoption, but is also associated with its fair share of challenges, a few major one mentioned above. Students and educational institutions that adopt online learning and new technology innovations need thorough and adept information beforehand to be able to handle these challenges.
