GOOGLE MEET: A REMOTE COMMUNICATION TOOL FOR THE DIGITAL AGE

At the time of this research being conducted, schools have practiced the online learning mode and are slowly
fluctuating back from the traditional offline mode, and hence the difference between online and offline teaching
can be noticed by the students as well as the school authorities. Students from kindergarten right up to grade
ten have spent a lot of time sitting in front of tools, trying to study through this new mode of learning. While
some believe that the unplanned and rapid move to online learning without any training and with little
preparation will result in a poor user experience, others believe that a new hybrid model of education will
emerge, with significant benefits. For those who do have proper access to the right technology, there is an
indication that learning online can be more effective in a few ways. Some researchers have found that on
average, students retain more material when learning online compared to only in a classroom. However, the
effectiveness of online learning varies amongst age groups.
