It then discusses significant issues raised by the widespread acceptance of web-based learning amid the epidemic, followed by a discussion of ideas proposed by many specialists to improve the adequacy of online learning. Certain factors, such as insufficient computing foundation, validity, and language used in internet-based training, impede development.
