A study on shift of traditional classroom methods to online teaching methods in higher education scenario during lockdown
Traditional education has been around for thousands of years. Traditional education emphasizes direct instruction to the students and students learn through listening and observation. The education which is taught in the schools today is the modern education. Modern education includes listening, writing, visualizing, imagining, and thinking skills. This is done in a very formal way. The methodology used for teaching is very interactive. Modern education is just an evolution of the traditional education which was imparted to the students a few years back. We do not recommend closing schools and colleges and only offering online courses. Use of technology in education is resulting in different concepts in the system, for instance the move from teacher-centric education to student-centric education. Instead of replacing formal education with online education, they can be combined to create a more effective, efficient, and interactive learning experience. Pedagogy in digital education is an important link between course content, educationists, technology and course-takers. In this paper we discussed the perception and problems faced by the teachers and discussed the adaptation of new thing for using online teaching.

The shift from traditional teaching to modern ways of teaching during the pandemic was quiet thrilling and interesting, it somehow gave birth to many forms of teaching using different modalities. The demands of the new normal in terms of delivering quality education obliged me and pushed me to learn and adapt both best practices in modern and traditional teaching. Ours is a combination of modern and traditional way of teaching which I find helpful and productive. Old values and ways never fade and so i just choose what is applicable and helpful. Traditional way of teaching combined with modern ways aided by technology was excellent way to deliver quality education. The key is to strike the balance.
The discussion about using technology in education is crucial in today's digital age. The transformation from a teacher-centric to a student-centric approach indicates an understanding of the changing dynamics in education.
New learning indeed requires skills and mastery on the use and integration of technology in learning. Virtual learning indeed is a great way to learn however virtual learning can always become real by producing tangible outputs that are useful and relevant for the learners. Output based education is a must and should be highly encourage.
