Abstract

The entry of the COVID-19 pandemic into our lives meant that the process of teaching and learning shifted online. While issues of digital divide have been in the limelight, some other problems related to online teaching have remained under the radar. For instance, are there are any privacy concerns associated with online teaching and learning? How does one discuss sensitive matters like gender, religion and caste in an online class? Also, most importantly, how does one 'teach' and/or 'learn' during a crisis? In this piece, I wish to explore some of these issues drawing from my teaching experiences in New Delhi - India's capital city, in the past year.
