Covid-19 atmosphere in education institutions.

Covid-19 has changed the teaching and learning atmosphere in education institutions. At the onset of the pandemic, the physical aspect of learning and teaching was fully eliminated. Schools were forced to digitalize learning and teaching processes and practices. Even after covid-19 measures were relaxed, digitalization in education was maintained. Digital technology has often proven beneficial to students’ understanding. However, it has barriers, including lack of motivation, insufficient information access, and delayed communication. Teachers may not always be available, and when they are, internet connection and emotional distance prevent proper learning and understanding. Millennials have had to adapt by learning to use and apply technological factors engagingly. The changes emerged abruptly, giving educators less time to prepare for e-learning. Some have had to rely on college-level students to learn to use various technologies.
The increased worry among students regarding accessibility, connectivity, and suitable gadgets was an issue. Furthermore, the social challenges created by the lack of physical presence were worrisome. E-learning allowed learning and teaching to continue, but a social distance emerged. Students had access to information exchange tools and uploading options that made the process easier. Teachers and students had to learn to use the available tools for assignments, group work, and practical tasks. Studies assessing whether students were satisfied or dissatisfied with the online experience were conducted. The results would express the impacts of digitalization while revealing inefficiencies observed and possible solutions. Millennials adapt to the new e-learning context due to the changing learning and teaching process. Notably, Covid-19 distracted the traditional physical practices, embedding learning to new, compatible technologies. The devices have helped facilitate information exchange and resource upload for assignments and grading. Overall, millennials are conversant with technology, and despite the connection hurdles, they have made e-learning a success for continued learning and teaching in education.
