Introduction
Education is a transforming mission of an individual.It is a journey filled with successes, setbacks, and realisations as well as a person's reputation and numerous endeavours.Family education starts at home and continues all the way through a person's life till death.Life quality may be assessed with the aid of education.Formal, non-formal, and informal education are the three main kinds of education.Academic skills are taught to people through formal education, which starts in elementary school and lasts until college.To complete a formal degree, the procedure complies with a set of guidelines.No particular instruments are used in informal education to analyse learning.Informal education can be obtained by reading books, riding a bike, playing chess, and other activities.In reality, informal education is just as important.Additionally, awareness-raising initiatives like adult literacy and basic education programmes are used by non-formal education to advance education.It is customizable and does not have a set schedule, curriculum, or upper age restriction.We are currently at a point in the Gurukul system when COVID-19 issues are forcing us to change significantly away from offline/traditional teaching methods and towards online instruction.As is well known, the COVID-19 epidemic caused the closure of schools virtually everywhere.Along with having an impact on families, teachers, and kids, this school closure raised significant financial and social issues.In order to reduce the likelihood of the corona virus spreading across the community, schools are looking for innovative methods to do it, and one such method is online teaching and learning.Many schools all across the world decided to start holding their lessons online during this epidemic, using tools like Zoom, Google Classroom, Google Meet, Cisco Webex, and others.

Online Teaching/Education
Any teaching or learning activity that happens online is referred to as online teaching or education.Teachers can interact with students who may not be able to attend regular classrooms through online learning.Students that must complete their work at their own pace and on their own timetable are supported.Texts, music, notes, videos, and photos may all be found in online learning tools.Because students may review and revise the material at any time, from any location, online education offers a flexible and laid-back approach to teaching.Through online learning, some students get greater knowledge.Since there is no urgency with online learning, students may often study at their own pace.
