Abstract
The proliferation of technology has a notable impact on education, which is why e-learning has become increasingly popular. This study compares and contrasts online and offline learning in terms of learning outcomes, student engagement, instruction quality, and accessibility. In the era of modern technology, e-learning has been extremely useful during COVID-19. As a part of this analysis, we follow a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data from surveys and with those qualitative data insights from focus groups. Online education has challenges with student engagement and the digital divide, despite its benefits in terms of affordability, accessibility, and adaptability. Offline education can be limited by time and place, even though it enhanced social engagement and experiential learning. We are investigating the potential benefits of e-learning in the case of a pandemic. A hybrid educational model that maximizes learning outcomes while catering to students' varied needs is presented in the paper's conclusion. Our primary focus is conducting research on all first- through twelfth-grade students who took digital courses during the COVID-19 pandemic
