Abstract

The outbreak of the pandemic - Covid-19 has reoriented the landscape of human perceptions towards life. We started
finding novel ways of survival; first for the lives and the second for the livelihoods. The grim reality has posed several
uncertainties and unanticipated consequences. The Governments worldwide have been struggling for finding the innovative
ways of saving the lives. Physical distancing has confined us in the four walls of our dwelling. An electronic paradise of
digitization with high-speed internet is the new normal. In education, this scenario has compacted the place of classrooms and
transformed into the virtual platforms like Zoom, MS-Teams, Skype & Google Meet to name a few. The reflections now emerge
are: Can these platforms offer sustainable teaching and learning to all the stakeholders? Can the institutions of higher learning
transform the digital platforms as an asset and value addition to the institutions and their stakeholders respectively? The
researchers, in this research have explored the experiences and opinions of various stakeholders on the effectiveness of digital
teaching and learning. The results of this study can be used by the governments, policymakers, and higher educational
institutions to have an insight on how to utilize the digital platforms for sustainability.
