Abstract

Virtual learning also known as virtual learning environment (VLE) is a learning experience that is enhanced through utilizing computers and/or the internet both outside and inside the facilities of the educational organization. The objectives of the study were to analyze the affordability of virtual learning for middle class people, analyze the impact of virtual learning on students and to know the satisfactory level of students on virtual learning. This paper is an outcome of virtual learning on students during the lockdown due to covid-19 pandemic.The sample was collected from a random sample of 100 respondents from student’s community from South Bangalore through Google forms and secondary data was collected from research articles, and other web sources. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistical tools and inferences were drawn. The researchers used crosstab and ANOVA for analysing the collected data. The study found that the virtual learning platform is expensive and is not affordable by the lower middle-class students. Though the virtual learning had positive impact on students, students prefer traditional method of learning as compared to virtual learning. Further research can be conducted with more sample size and in a different locality to understand the impact better.
