Abstract

As COVID 19 has been declared as a pandemic disease by the WHO, all educational activities have been suspended during the lockdown period of COVID 19 infection. As a result, E learning emerged as new method of teaching to maintain the continuity of medical education. There are many reasons for its overall acceptability e.g. Ease of use, Flexibility, and better control on environment and many more. Due to resource limitations in a developing country like India, this approach created a major challenge. Alone E learning will not serve the purpose of development of professional skill. For development of professional skills blended learning would be better along with E learning. At the end online teaching is a boon during the COVID 19 outbreak for the whole world but other concerns should be addressed for successful and effective teaching activities.
