Offline and Online Learning helps people to be educated and become productive members of society. The
current work was focused on the intention of the students to use online platforms. To analyze this one survey
was conducted where the major population involved were students belonging to higher secondary,
undergraduate, and postgraduate. A total of 351 participants responded to the survey and the results were precise
and promising. The study was focused on the effectiveness like convenience, flexibility, freedom of usage, skills
and technical enhancement, and barriers like administrative issues and lack of interaction/motivation of the
online learning platforms that affect the intention of the students of using online platforms. The results of the
survey were analyzed using the PLS-SEM technique using SMART PLS 2 software. The results revealed that
there are some technical loopholes in the online learning platforms. The limitations and the barriers of online
learning can hinder this study and can be considered for future research.

According to the Indian Constitution Article 45 education is an elementary and primary need or thing for the
children’s up to fourteen years of age. The technologies are developing and have developed, which in results
give us a new way to gain skills and learn or get knowledge. Online learning is one of the varieties of education
modes where, students use their devices like computers, laptops, or mobile phones with the help of net
connectivity. We all should thank our developing technologies and the internet, which is helping us to boost our
knowledge and skills by opening a wide range of learning options for us. E-learning is providing benefits to
both learners and employers or training peoples.
Nowadays the traditional method of learning is changing and developing. Hence, online education came into
the picture, the main difference between Online and Offline learning is location and preference. Online learning
can be conducted practically or virtually from anywhere across the world using their access. Online learning is
increasing at a rapid rate of 60 to 70%. We all have seen the COVID pandemic in 2020 which has affected our
education sector badly and has generated fear of completing education and course in the learners as well as
trainers, as schools and colleges were asked to be closed temporarily. Various schools, colleges, and universities
across India have started conducting online classes and have partnered with some third-party platforms to
provide online learning to their students, which is a virtual learning with a wide range of functions and
disciplines to get academic degrees and are managed by the backend system of that vendors and run by the
faculties of the institutions. Some of the third-party vendors are: Code Tantra, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams,
EdTech, etc.
The Online form of learning has many advantages, which includes flexibility and feasibility, can be done from
anywhere while traveling or doing some other works, the thing we only need is good internet speed and
connections. The flexibility in online education involves cost and time effectiveness which provides live
interaction and high-quality learning and more practical knowledge with the help of internet or broadband
connections (Bartley & Golek, 2004; De la Vare, Keane, & Irvin in 2001; Gratton- Lavoie & Stanley, 2009;
Koller & Ng, 2014).
Although, there are some barriers too of online learning which includes social interaction,
administrative/instructor problems, time and support for studies, and learner motivation. Less important barriers
were technical problems, a scarcity of technical ability, and a scarcity of educational ability. The degree to that
barriers to learning were perceived was reciprocally associated with comfort and confidence levels with
mistreatment on-line learning technologies.

According to the foremost recent survey from Babson Survey analysis cluster, over 30% of upper education
students within the us area unit taking a minimum of one distance course. on-line education may be a good
selection. As a student, this may be a helpful learning technique for sharpening your skills in a very tough
subject or learning a brand-new ability. Online education permits the teacher and the student to line their own
learning pace, and there’s the additional flexibility of setting a schedule that matches everyone’s agenda.
Learning on-line teaches us very important time management skills, that makes finding an honest work-study
balance easier.
Review of Literature
Kaur et al. (2020) studied that the effectiveness of the online learning by internet, communication, skills,
knowledge in medical students by taking a cross-sectional survey from the sample size of 983 and analyzing
the results using mean and standard deviation. The result of the paper was that online learning is equally
effective as compare to offline learning in some parameters. Shenoy et al. (2020) studied that the student’s
engagement and learning by technology adoption and teaching by taking the interviews of a sample size of 20
and analyzing the results using MS-Excel. The results of the paper were that the class engagement is better
online than offline.
Swan (2019) studied that the barriers in the online learning occurs due to arguing for commonly agreed upon
protocols, tension between social and cognitive presence by taking surveys from the sample size of 270 and
analyzing the results using Col framework. The result of the paper was that some difficulties were found in
communication and tension in students’ point of view. Yen et al. (2018) studied that the course satisfaction in
face-to-face learning and online learning by taking the surveys from the sample size of 85 and analyzing the
results using Multivariate Analysis of Variance. The results of the paper were that online classes can be just as
effective as face-to-face classes in producing satisfactory student outcomes.
Kebritch et al. (2017) studied that there are some issues in the online participation, and it was rather difficult to
transit from face-to-face learning to online learning with the help of quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods
by taking the sample size of 400 and analyzing the results using Cooper’s framework. The result of the paper
was that there are issues in learners’ expectations from online learning and participation in online learning. Sood
and Singh (2014) studied that the effectiveness of online learning by e-learning tools with the help of a
questionnaire and analyzing the results using mean, standard deviation and p-value. The results of the paper
were that internet advancement has a great impact on ways of transferring knowledge. And helped in developing
countries for bright future of student.
Anna Ya Ni (2013) studied that the effectiveness of the online learning on grades by teaching methods and
performances and assessments with the help of the surveys on the sample size of 148 and analyzing the results
using mean, chi-square value and p-value. The result of the paper was that on the basis of grade, online learning

Descriptive Analysis
Our descriptive analysis says that measuring the effectiveness of online learning is effective, where out of 351
responses students belong to age 20-25 have filled this surveyor more and there are only 41% of students who
belong to post-graduation. When we have asked them about doing online courses 94.6% of respondents had
done online courses whereas 5.4% have never done, where some have to pay amount to do courses, in which
37% have paid more than Rs.1000, whereas 37% have done courses for free. Almost every respondent is aware
of online platforms like Google Meet (84.9%), Zoom (78.6%), etc. Before enrolling into any online course
respondents looks at some criteria’s which includes course content, price, time, adaptability, skills, etc.
If we talked about platform issues out of 351 respondents only a few said that they do not face any issue while
using online platforms, 33.3% faces communication barriers, 27.6% content issue, and 27.1% face issue of
visualization. When we asked them about the connectivity out of 351 respondents 55.3% users are using 4G
Internet to perform Online Learning, while 34.2% are using Wi-Fi for learning, in which some of them (78.3%)
were also facing connectivity issues because of weather conditions (57%), 52.7 % SIM signals 25.4% belongs
to rural areas and 10% are having an issue of the mobile version. Some of them 222/351 (63.2%) also see a
change in their behavior concerning using online learning in terms of technical enhancement, improving
communication, and so on. Overall, 197/351 (56.1%) are satisfied with the online learning, whereas 96 (27.4%)
are confused and 58 (16.5%) are not satisfied.
Secondary Research
From the last two decades we have been migrating from offline learning to online learning and many educators
are continuously exploring the utilization of digital media and technology in the learning. Apart from being in
the digital world still many of the students are rely on the blackboard teaching. Online learning includes using
internet to learn the concepts in the form of videos, presentations, texts and tutorials. The main benefits of the
online learning are ease of studying and flexibility which makes online learning much preferable. The only
drawback of the online learning is the lack of face-to-face interaction between the students and the teacher.
Traditional learning helps a student to be more interactive and disciplined. With some changes in the online
learning, it can be the boon to students in pursuing their higher studies.
Convergent Validity is a form of construct validity that is the main target for performing research/study on
Online Learning, which is to be measured in the form of average variance (AVE) that measures variance and
constructs the relationship between variance and its error. The accurate value/result for AVE should be > 0.5
which is said to be adequate.

Discriminant Validity is measured by the questionnaire which shows there is no correlation between factors
and their variance. All the construct which we are using should be different from each other. Above shown
Table 3 is showing correlation matrix. The criteria of proving discriminant validity have been taken from
Formell and Lacker (1981). The discriminant value we have find out with the help of Smart PLS2 software
which has calculated the AVE square root value shown as highlighted in the above table.
Our administrative issues (ADM_ISS) variables show a value of 0.9187, convenience/ feedback (CONV/FEED)
variables of 0.809, its flexibility (FLEX) variables of 0.8498, online learning freedom of use (FREE) has a
variable of 0.8352 and so on. Hence, we can conclude that the study factors/variables relate more strongly to
their factor than others and the study factors are not linked.
Path Modelling
Structural Equation Modelling measures the cause and effects in the relationships of the model with observed
variables. The model estimates the observing variables, it analyses the relationship between factors. In this
model, two types of methods are applied: where endogenous are identified easily, and exogenous its dependent
variables are like its independent variables.

Managerial Implications
Educational institutes have now embraced the online learning and the number of students enrolling into online
courses are also increasing. With advancement in internet technology the use of simulation games or multimedia
will increase in online learning. In the future, with the increase in online libraries, simulations students will be
drawn to opt for online degree than offline.
Online learning has shown a significant growth over the last decade and it is predicted that on online learning
market will be $350 billion by 2025. With the continuous advancement in the sector of online learning it is safe
to say that online learning is here to stay, and it is not difficult to imagine an exciting future of the online
learning. If there will be timely feedback from the instructor be provided to the students and proper and quick
technical assistance be provided, then the future of the online learning can be a big success. Online learning
does create a time constraint for explaining the video contents and it disconnects the students from academic
and administrative staff, if these barriers are overcome then the online learning will be more preferred in the
Limitations & Suggestions for Online Learning
The administrative issues, technical problems, and cost of online learning include having good internet
connectivity and a new generation device for accessing online learning, paying fees for online learning, these
all are limiting candidate's or respondents’ intentions to use online learning. Online learning bringing isolation
fear in the respondents, interactions, becoming extrovert all are creating barriers to using Online Learning.

Making Online learning more Flexible
We can make our learning more effective by adding on features like more practical classes, giving online
learning access to any mode, by making online class more attractive, with the help of conducting quiz or poll,
a healthy discussion to improve our communications, making our course syllabus more flexible by adding
practical courses.
Online learning requires Less Time
Students are changing their mode from offline to online as online learning requires less time, and it also allows
flexibility of time. Online learning allows us to get access to class at any time, at any place, and we can use any
tools for doing online learning, as it has no time barriers. We can make online learning more effective in terms
of time by allowing the offline course to be done in an online form, quick response or feedback from the faculty
Online learning helps in Enhancing Skills
Online learning also helps us in enhancing our skills such as helps us to improve our communication, it allows
us to think practically and logical, it also helps us to improve our analytical skills with the technical skill. Skills
can be enhanced by having more discussions on any individual topics during class or any course, more
mathematical practice or multiple-choice questions, practical class on technical knowledge.
Online learning allows us to develop Technical Knowledge
Online learning helps us to gain technical knowledge, allows us to gain new experience, and has improved the
quality of learning as compare to face-to-face or offline learning. Our technical skills can get more better or
enhanced by introducing a course on learning new techniques such as knowledge on Artificial Intelligence or
More advance Excel which will helps us in future.
