Authors(1) :-Dr. Shiv Poojan Yadav

The purpose of this paper is to show the impact of technology on education in every sphere. During pandemic people had to change from their work of physical mode to online mode. No doubt as the things gets normal now still many big organizations like Google are promoting two days work from home and three days’ work in organization as they realize they really saved a lot by adopting such propaganda.E-Learning has become a necessity in higher educational institutes and is being deployed throughout the world. Rise of E-Learning technology used by the higher education can be attributed to globalization. The Government of India and the University Grants Commission (UGC) has come to a realization that Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in higher education would bring the benefits into the current higher education system. Initially faculty faced a lot of dissonance towards the student’s engagement during a lockdown. But the students responded way better and the attendance was many times better than regular classes. There were various initiatives from the Ministry of Human resource management (MHRD), an offering of free Swayam Courses. Basically, this is review based paper which is helpful to express the importance of both virtual as well as classroom learning in higher education.
