Abstract: Student learning through online tools during the pandemic covid-19 situation has been studied and reported in this paper. Students pursuing engineering under graduation and business management post graduation were given a Google form to respond to questions related to type and kind of online platform used, difficulties in teaching-learning, expectations of students etc. Suggestions were invited for better learning online. This paper presents the results of the feedback of students on technical and non-technical issues during online learning. The online environment is sub-divided into four broad categories viz., technological, personal, teaching aids and learning management system. Influence of these parameters on effectiveness of online teaching and feedback from students are discussed. Students had difficulties in internet network, bandwidth, clarity of audio-visual, interruptions in power supply, wifi-networks, poor infrastructure and affordability. 57 percent of respondents are dependent on mobile phone instruments for online class work. Majority of students felt that online certification courses can reduce burden to some extent. The results can be used for designing better online tools for effective online learning for students.
