Abstract

With the spread of COVID 19, almost every higher educational entity initiated online delivery whereby teaching is undertaken remotely on digital platform. A massive shift like this arises an onslaught of questions. A case study was conducted in March and April 2020 to determine the challenges affecting the adoption of e-learning in 6 university colleges in Sri Lanka. A comprehensive literature survey was carried out. A questionnaire survey was administered to 90 teachers and 650 students and analyzed through the use of simple descriptive statistics. Besides, a narrative analysis was undertaken to identify shared views expressed in a series of telephonic inquiries. It was found that data as it is a survey based paper. The paper concludes with some solutions implementable in three stages. The findings of the study will help work out a digital policy, revisit the existing educational taxonomies and enhance the effectiveness of online delivery particularly in a future context similar to COVID 19.
