Abstract

Novel corona virus has impacted human life enormously. The fight against the pandemic will be long and sustained. WHO has rightly advised all countries to ensure social distancing to keep the virus at bay. In India, Governments both at the centre and the states, have been enforcing social distancing among the citizens. This has adversely affected all the sectors of the economy. Education sector is no exception. All educational institutions including coaching centers have been ordered to stop classroom teaching. To ensure continuity of teaching-learning, most of the educational institutions in the private sector, have shifted to online teaching. Digital technology has played an instrumental role in connecting the students and the teachers. The pandemic has fast tracked the adoption of digital platform in teaching. Prior to the pandemic, virtual classrooms and blended learning was a far cry. But now it is a new normal. Both the teachers and the students have quickly adopted and have adapted to remote teaching-learning.

Online teaching has brought in many benefits, but there are some side effects as well. One of them is how it has affected the stakeholders physically and mentally. In this paper the authors have tried to analyse the impact of technology on the two most important stakeholders in the educational value chain, namely teachers and students. Data proves that digital platform has adversely affected them not only physically but also mentally. Based on the findings, the authors have given few suggestions to reduce techno-stress which is incidental to online teaching-learning.
