Impact Study Of Covid-19 Pandemic On Web Technical Education

The CORONAVIRUS epidemic has forced the worldwide transformation of sudden face-to-face instruction in web formats at most of the educational establishments. Immediate and cautious planning is needed to reduce the impacts of the epidemic on content-based, hand-crafted engineering and technical education and design. To evaluate web engineering and technical education during the epidemic, we did a study at KIET Group of Institutions, in Ghaziabad (one of the private engineering institute). The sample size of 100 faculty members and 1000 students from different engineering departments take part in the study and answered a qualitative question to clarify the problems they faced while teaching web during pandemic. For example, approx.  half of the students showed a lack of classroom involvement, difficulty keeping their focus and weariness of the MS Team after attending many web meetings. Combined analysis showed that while asynchronous semi-web tests were associated with an increase in perceived fraud by educators, fully web or open / open tests of notes were associated with a decrease in the teacher’s perception of cheating. To discourse the various obstacles identified, we have recommended the strategies of education stakeholders to fill the tools and technology gap and enhance web engineering teaching. These references are operative methods for many related institutions around the world and can help increase web learning outcomes in areas under engineering. As the epidemic continues, sharing the results of this study with other teachers can help to effectively and selectively develop best practices to improve the performance of web engineering and technical education during CORONAVIRUS and post-epidemic.
