Online Merriam Webster defines it as "Connected through a computer or telecommunication".
Following corona crisis, every means of communication/ interaction is online and so was/ is education presently. Indian government has taken initiatives and introduced e-learning platforms for under graduates and post graduates. By, these platforms students can learn and teachers can teach through teaching learning process.
Their are 8 e-Learning platforms 1)  Swayam 2) Diksha 3) e-PG pathshala 4) Swayam prabha 5) National Digital Laboratory of India (NDLI) 6) E-ShosdhSindhu 7) National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) and 8) Virtual labs. An initiative by government of India.

These are useful platforms not only for undergraduates but also for post-graduates. 
However online learning or e-Learning comes with its own pros and cons. It is considered as student centered technique in teaching learning process, teachers can be creative while they teach, such a concept is very interactive, in limited time high amount of information can be shared with students etc etc. But online learning can never replace conventional classroom teaching learning experience. In a classroom teaching use of chalk and boards, models and charts makes whole session interesting interactive and activity based. It leaves an impact on the students and remains in the memory for long period. Unlike online learning wherein everything is virtual, imaginary and superficial. I am not saying e-Learning is bad but it can't be ultimate. Not every student can adjust with online teaching or online classes since they differ in their IQ or tech friendly habit or accessibility to internet etc.
Therefore, it will be always debatable whether or not e-Learning could be ultimate or just an option to be adhered during crisis period.

Mucormycosis: 2021 Epidemic ???

By
It would be unjustifiable for me to not chronicle this issue as a microbiologist.                                            Image credits:  Pathology Outlines - Zygomycetes Mucormycosis (formerly known as zygomycosis) is a severe but uncommon fungal illness caused by mucormycetes, a kind of mould. Molds may be found in many kinds of places. Mucormycosis is a fungal infection that mostly affects persons who have health issues or who use medications that reduce the body's capacity to resist infections and illness. After breathing fungal spores from the air, it most often affects the sinuses and lungs. It can also happen after a cut, a burn, or any other form of skin damage. While we work to defend ourselves against COVID-19 and live with it, there is another threat posed by a fungus that we must be aware of and respond to. During or after recovery, a few COVID-19 patients ha...

Counseling psycology: History

By
  By S Adeeb Mujtaba Ali Since the dawn of society, counseling has been an important part. Right from grandparents to parents advising other family members followed by providing guidance to residents by community leaders, counseling has always been an important and organic part of the human experience. During the Industrial Revolution era when people and their mobility increased by migrating to other lands, the traditional essence of counselors was lost due to separation from their families and communities. Following which there was a communication gap, people started feeling isolated and led them to approach for psychiatric help or landing to asylums.  In present times people started opting for modern psychiatry, which is nothing but professional counseling, a current trend taking rounds to keep a check on mental health. However, the presence of inefficient mental health institutes led to, a mental hygiene movement —headed by a cohort of psychiatrists,...

Practical learning vs theoretical learning

By
The most contentious topic of discussion: theory vs. practical knowledge. Some believe that students should study more about practical courses such as computer degree programs, technical degree programs, and so on. Others, however, believe that students should learn about theoretical subjects such as history and science. But first, let's know what this term implies, and what theory is. In our educational system, theories about knowing basic life fundamentals meet with any topic, such as science, mathematics, english, geography, and history. Theoretical knowledge, then, is the understanding of what is true. Theoretical knowledge may assist you in comprehending the underlying notion and understanding how something works and how it works. The term "theoretical knowledge" refers to learning something without applying it in practice. It explains why one is more successful and the other is unsuccessful. Theoretical knowledge may help you grasp a notion better by allowing you t...
