Due to the rising number of COVID-19 cases, students and educational institutes have taken the digital route with classes being held online. But even holding classes online comes with its own set of challenges. And this was proved by a Bangaluru professor, who wrote a letter to his students talking about the challenges of learning online and even extended a 'Thank you note' for the students, who make it successful.

In a very interesting discussion with SAS faculty on online teaching and how we can do it better this time around. One story stood out. This faculty would call students directly if they were having difficulty connecting online. During one call, the faculty heard thunderous rain.

Taking to Twitter, Bengaluru-based professor Arjun Jayadev of Azim Premji University said, "I'm writing to note to students who may be reading that we know and recognise your efforts, which are often really heroic." Jaadev cited the example of one of his students who braved a thunderstorm to get an Internet signal in order to attend the online classes.
