It also tried to understand the effects that the external ecosystem consisting of technology partners, content developers, and the organizations in the online education sector have in developing the online teaching-learning process. The paper through primary research has looked into the benefits and drawbacks of this education model, the learnings which can be used in the future to make this an innovative teaching-learning methodology even post the Covid-19 era.
