Unlocking Success: Transforming Challenges into Solutions in the World of Remote Learning and Online Teaching for Distance Education

Abstract

This research highlights the challenges that students faced when using different modes to participate in online classes. Encouraging the expansion of private educational institutions is seen as a way to promote competition throughout the entire higher education sector. This, in turn, is expected to result in a wider range of options, offering more innovative and higher quality products and services, all at a reduced cost(Boliver, 2023). The goals of this study were primarily centred on three characteristics of the learners: their personal, academic, and technical challenges. Because it depends on offline modes of instruction, this work has a research gap. Since the COVID era(Pareek & Soni, 2020), there have been very few studies on online instruction, and it is difficult to gauge how successful virtual education is and how well students are responding to it. While taking courses online using a mobile device or a computer, learners are wary of technological development and their frequent upgrades because of various groups like dropout students, working people, elderly people, and homemakers. In order to gather information from the 623 respondents who are enrolled in online education programmes, the researcher prepared a well-structured questionnaire. The SYSTAT software(Wilkinson, 1990) was used to utilise univariate and multivariate normality, and JAMOVI(Şahin & Aybek, 2019) was used for SEM(D. A. Jalaludeen, 2022). In order to analyse the data, we also formulated 4 null hypotheses (H0), of which 3 were disproved. The study's findings indicate that the majority of comments concern how taking online courses through ODL helps me advance professionally or pursue higher education. The analysis led the researcher to the final conclusion that, of the three attributes, personal problems had the greatest impact on how the online courses were run. The institution will expand and be able to strengthen its position if it adopts or incorporates all of the researcher's recommendations.
