Popis: Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the academic sector in Nepal immeasurably, forcing lockdowns of many educational institutions and restricting movement across the nation. This has enormously affected personal interaction between academics and students. As a result, online classes have emerged as a safe substitute for traditional face-to-face classes. It is important to check students’ as well as teachers’ perception of the effectiveness of online teaching, and to determine the acceptance of this mode of learning in comparison to traditional face-to face-classes within both groups. The findings of this study will help to ease educational institutions’ transition to online teaching and will give policymakers a clear vision of the effectiveness of such lectures. It may also help to formulate better plans to improve remote teaching in future.
