Abstract: It was the spring year 2020 which had really disrupted the normalcy in the lives of the globe. The tragic year filled the peaceful atmosphere with a very small but new effective organism known as novel coronavirus which had given a halt to the economy, trade and commerce, technology and education of the world. Half of the population of the globe was affected by this virus thereby leading to the unexpected deaths of dear and near ones.
Most of the educational institutes in Meghalaya were unprepared for digital learning. Despite the challenges in education during the lockdown period, paradigm shift from offline learning to online learning took place. The rapid transition from offline learning to online learning could be achieved by means of science and technology. The traditional classroom confined to four walls with desks and benches, blackboards, whiteboards and textbooks are drastically replaced by technology. Needless to say that technology has impacted positively and negatively the lives of students and teachers.
This paper aims to investigate the Impact of technology on education during the COVID-19 pandemic in the context of Tura, Meghalaya, focusing on teaching and learning imparted online.
