Life is meaningless without education since it forces an individual to face daily challenges. With the advancement of technology around the globe, the modes of education and learning approaches are changing, and current students are paying attention to online education since it allows them to select what to study, how to learn, and when to learn. Students are flocking to online portals such as edX, Stanford Online, Harvard Extension, Coursera, Udacity, and others to learn from the best teachers in the world. As a result, their diplomas are gaining more and more credibility by the day. These are invaluable resources for pupils who do not have access to a good education. During the COVID-19 shutdown era, online education has exploded all over the world, particularly in India, where educational institutions are in the process of offering online classes, conferences, webinars, and workshops. Online education has some social impacts as there is no confrontational interaction with a teacher or other students and it requires self-discipline and self-direction that not everyone opposes. It is not stated whether online education will replace traditional classroom instruction, but it is believed that online education will continue to expand and become more helpful to society.
