The new situation with schools closing within the COVID-19 epidemic is the emergency reaction to include the spread of the coronavirus. Remote education is the “ temporary change of education transfer to an alternative manner due to crisis conditions," says Rebecca B. Reynolds in School of Communication&data of Rutgers University. “ the main goal is to rapidly allow temporary, reliable access to education and assistance during the situation, not to recreate the strong educational ecosystem. " Although it's not ideal to continue with all remote learning in the fall, Some on-line education may be the safest choice for students to get back to education.

There have been two important reported predictions about the possible effect of COVID-19 epidemic on online training. Some experts have predicted that this COVID-19 epidemic could adversely affect online education for Some reasons. First, they thought that the shift to online training will be difficult, even when the transitioning knowledge is given enough time. Also, during the COVID-19 epidemic, there is not a single portion of the system that has been untouched. As the consequence, college students have become financially weak. Some of these students are upset that they would no longer be able to give college after this epidemic. Likewise, being confined at home, some of the staff and students have been busy attempting to accomplish their kids, different elders, or siblings at this home who are also not in school.

Other observers have predicted that the COVID-19 epidemic could have a positive effect that would lead to broader adoption of online and technology-enabled education. Even before COVID- 19, there was already the higher development and acceptance of education technology. Proponents of the position think that online education is as useful as traditional classroom education. Furthermore, switching over to online education within the emergency acts as the reset switch to the ailing traditional educational system. The shift to online education involves the staff's help at the universities planning such a change.

Despite these challenges, this COVID-19 epidemic has had a positive effect on the staff and students' adoption of online training. Specifically, 67 percent of the medical students reported the positive effect of the epidemic on online education. In a recent study of more than 400 college students whose schools had newly switched over to on-line training because of this COVID-19 epidemic, 60 percent of students reported being fairly prepared for the switch. Likewise, most of the survey participants envisioned integrating expertise garnered within this pandemic into their future teaching/learning schemes.

In response to COVID-19, some online education platforms are getting their companies available because of the high demand. The online tutoring and educational business, Byju's, was one of those online education platforms providing their companies free of charge. Byju's is established at Bangalore, and has seen the 200 percent change in the amount of students utilizing their services, due to COVID-19. This coronavirus epidemic has resulted in the largest “on-line change” in the history of education with around 730,000 students actively going to courses via the Tencent on- line school at Wuhan, China.
