The Emergence of Online Learning in Pakistan

Online learning has become more popular in Pakistan since the educational process got disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. It has accelerated the adoption of online classes educational technology to make sure that all children can access educational resources to continue their studies. 

This has brought multiple benefits for the students at home as it is extremely convenient due to the option of remote learning. Besides increasing the accessibility of education, it has also reduced the cost of education by cutting down on transportation, textbooks, etc. The only things required to attend online classes are a reliable internet connection and a computer. Teachers also need to be trained to provide classes online. Let’s look at how beneficial online study has been for students and what impediments in their process are. 

Pros of Online Learning in Pakistan

a. Increased Access to Education

Learning materials were not accessible for students in remote areas or those living in underprivileged areas. Now they can easily access these resources like other students so there is no disparity. Students can attend lectures from anywhere at any time.

b. Flexibility and Convenience

When we talk about e-learning, it does not only include primary education but higher education as well. Working professionals who want to upskill or continue their education want flexible classes to fulfil their needs and these online classes offer them quality education at their own pace and time. This is perfect for them to create balance in their lives.

c. Cost-Effective

Traditional classes have a lot of additional costs like transportation, accommodation, books, notebooks, uniforms, etc. Students have to pay for none of this and this is highly beneficial for low-income families who want their children to learn from better sources.

d. Improved Technology Skills

In today’s world, it is essential for all students to know how to use digital tools and technologies. Digital education has given them the perfect opportunity to become familiar and comfortable with using these platforms which will be useful in their future careers as it is an important aspect that employers look for. 

Cons of Online Learning in Pakistan

a. Limited Internet Access

Many areas of Pakistan do not have access to the internet so online learning becomes a slow and tedious process with a lot of interruptions. Students face connectivity issues during classes and it disrupts their pace of learning.

b. Lack of Interaction and Engagement

Some students learn better through discussion and face to face interaction with teachers and fellow students. This engagement is almost nonexistent in online classes so they can be quite non engaging for students, especially the younger ones.

c. Technical Challenges and Infrastructure Issues

Power outages are the biggest problem for online education in Pakistan. It can hinder the student’s learning so reliable technology and infrastructure is required to overcome this challenge. Besides this, there are software malfunctions as well which require technical assistance.

d. Potential for Cheating

Academic dishonesty is already a big issue in Pakistan and educational authorities are dealing with it. Cheating on exams or plagiarising assignments becomes very easy for students when education is solely online and there is no effective way to monitor the students. 

This and other concerns do make online education a little hard to implement but these challenges can be mitigated by giving the required support to make it a viable option for students. 

Best Practices for Online Learning in Pakistan

a. Ensuring Access to Technology

The necessary technology and infrastructure are required in order to participate in online learning so it is important to ensure that all students have equal and reliable access to these things, which includes high-speed internet, laptops or tablets and softwares required for online classes.

b. Providing Adequate Training and Support

Online learning tools and platforms can be challenging to use for teachers and instructors. The software is new for them and if there is a problem, they do not know how to deal with it promptly and carry on with the class. For this, they should be properly trained and given troubleshooting lessons to provide them support.

c. Encouraging Interaction and Engagement

Teachers should know how to keep students engaged during online classes as they are less interactive compared to traditional classes. Some of these ideas include interactive activities, discussion forums, group assignments, etc. All these things are a part of instructing students and teachers should be taught how to develop this in lectures. Gamification is also an effective method to make children more active in the concepts and test themselves.

d. Implementing Effective Assessment and Evaluation Strategies

In order to ensure that students are achieving the required learning outcomes and retaining the information, they need to be regularly assessed for their understanding of the material. These assessment methods should be varied and include quizzes, exams, essays, discussions, projects, etc. These are conducted differently for online classes so strategies need to be figured out to make sure there is no dishonesty and the assessment reflects their true academic performance. Online exams can be monitored and assignments can be checked through plagiarism checking softwares to ensure academic integrity. 

These are some of the best practices that can be adopted to make internet-based learning more effective and convenient for everyone. 

The Future of Online Learning in Pakistan

Traditional learning has a lot of barriers for the underprivileged and low-income families. If online education is improved, it can considerably increase the literacy rate of Pakistan and benefit the economy. This can be effectively done because many educational institutes adopted online learning very quickly during the COVID-19 pandemic. This new mode of learning can be integrated into the education system of Pakistan so that online courses and degrees can be offered too. 

To implement this successfully, more investment needs to be made in the technology infrastructure as well as technical training for the teachers. This should be implemented throughout the country so that equitable access to these resources can be ensured. The education system in the country can be revolutionised by supporting online education the right way.
