Abstract

There are currently a significant number of higher education institutions in India that provide online course work for both undergraduate and graduate students. These schools offer complete academic programmes that range from business and the humanities to professional and doctoral degrees. The most recent data suggests that this upward trend will continue, pointing to the fact that online enrolments in India have been steadily growing over the course of the past decade. The trend in higher education toward offering online degree programmes has led to the development of synchronous online instruction, which is ideally suited for classes taught in the seminar format. In the past, fewer schools have been known to bring together smaller groups of students to actively engage on specific topics during the course of a semester. In most cases, this is accomplished by on-going conversation, but in some cases, more formal research may be required. The design of the curriculum for the online class was done with the intention of acquainting students with the theoretical and methodological frameworks of their chosen academic field to a greater extent. Furthermore, the programme for the online class was intended to give students the opportunity to engage with specific examples of the types of practical challenges that may arise during research and practise. There have been a number of research studies done, the majority of which have focused on the capacity, effectiveness of curriculum, programme design, and assessment of asynchronous online training. On the other hand, there have only been a relatively small number of studies that have solely focused on synchronous online interactive instruction. Although these technologies are fairly inexperienced, this gap is growing increasingly evident as virtual classroom delivery systems incorporate synchronous technology inherent in online tools. This research highlights the major challenges & opportunities in online education degree courses where 150 respondents have taken form Delhi- NCR and results discussed through T-test using SPSS.
