use of various online tools like Google Drive or educational websites, etc. Through this,
teachers can communicate more to students without the variable of geographical
boundaries. This helps us more since we can be more knowlegdeable towards the use of
devices, as it can help develop a sense of logic and common sense for students, sparking
the creativity of the masses both students and teachers alike. This also helps us lessen

Several students stated that they were unable to care to their ailing parents,
grandparents, or family members and were forced to transport them to hospitals. When
they return home in the evening, it becomes increasingly difficult for them to stay up
with the lessons. Parents of children in lower grades believe it is preferable to allow their
children to repeat the academic year. Majority of students do not have access to
smartphones or TV at home in addition to poor Internet connectivity. There is no or less
income for huge population due to closure of business and offices. The data package
(costs) is comparatively high against average income earned, and continuous access to
Internet is a costly business for the farming community. Online face-to-face classes
(video) is encouraged by most; however, some students (economically disadvantaged)
have expressed that the face-to-face online class consumes more data packages. The
teachers are in dilemma as to whom to listen to and which tools to adopt. Some think
pre-recorded videos could help; however, this would restrict interactions. It is difficult
to design a proper system to fit the learning needs and convenience of all students.

their own online experience as videos can be effective means to observe real life
problems and come up with solutions. Through multimedia tool to increase student
performance and motivation to learn by encouraging discussion, collaboration, problem

Many students at home/living space have undergone psychological and
emotional distress and have been unable to engage productively. The best practices for
online homeschooling are yet to be explored (Petrie, 2020).
The level of academic performance of the students is likely to drop for the classes
