According to Bandura, learning is a social process that involves modeling, reinforcement, and self-

efficacy. Modeling involves learners observing and imitating the behaviors and attitudes of others, such
as instructors, peers, or experts. Reinforcement is when learners receive feedback for their actions
which influences their future behavior. Self-efficacy is when learners believe in their own abilities and
skills, which affects their motivation and performance. To use this theory in your online courses, you can
provide clear and realistic examples of the desired outcomes and behaviors for your learners. Videos,
podcasts, or live sessions can be used to demonstrate and explain the concepts and skills you are
teaching. Additionally, frequent and constructive feedback should be given to your learners both
individually and as a group. Finally, encourage your learners to reflect on their own progress and
achievements, while setting goals for themselves.

The transition to online learning has implications not only for teachers, who need to change their
courses but also for students, who need to adapt to the new learning environment. Educators and
parents are taking notice and many are considering whether the shift to online education will lead to
lasting changes for students who move out of the classroom. One of the most important consequences
of the transition to online learning is its impact on students' health and sleeping habits.

One of the easiest effects of online education on children’s recovery is to improve learning outcomes.
Online learning provides students with access to a time and place for education. With online courses
that can take place at home or in a place of their choice, there is less chance for students to miss classes.

On the contrary, online courses provide access to students who may never have the opportunity or the
inclination to attend lectures in person. Advancements in artificial intelligence offer hope for the future:
Online courses address students’ needs, meet them where they are learning, and better integrate them
into higher education than they have ever been able to do in personal courses. Online courses offer the
promise of accessing students' lives at all times, redefining educational opportunities, or at least serving
the traditional classroom better. With online education, students have the opportunity to learn from
teachers from any time zone in the world and at any time of day.

Online learning is growing at the same rate as before COVID-19, with a third of postsecondary students
attending at least one online class and 30% of graduate students studying online. Another benefit of
online education is that it allows students to participate in classes at places of their choice. It also allows
schools to reach an extensive network of students without being constrained by geographical
boundaries.
Asynchronous online education gives students control over their learning experience, allows flexibility in
the curriculum for non-traditional students, and gives students greater responsibility. Through the use of
online learning, students can distance themselves from each other without being exposed to
coronavirus and online learning has many health benefits for students and their families.

Online learning for children improves student accessibility. Students must be organized, self-motivated,
and have a high level of time management to participate in an online program. Online learning methods
can be an effective alternative educational medium for mature and self-disciplined pupils but are
unsuitable for learning environments that depend on the learner. The main benefit of asynchronous,
online learning is that it allows students to fully participate in high-quality learning situations, where
distance learning makes it difficult or impossible to learn on the ground.

It is essential for teachers to keep their online lessons clear, engaging, and interactive so that students
can concentrate on the lessons. Students' commitment to time is often misinterpreted as meaning that
online courses require less time and effort than traditional courses. Online students can participate in
internal class discussions and complete assignments, essays, and projects.

This shows the effects of not being able to interact with other students and teachers in an online school,
which can result in serious negative effects. Online learning can lead to students not developing the
necessary communicative skills. In addition, students must have high-speed internet access at home,
which can lead to complications if it is not available.

The challenges of online learning can impact children to a great extent; loss of motivation, self-
discipline, and the need to study are some of the biggest problems children face. Impacts include the
lack of efficiency of technology, the difficulty for pupils to understand the concepts taught, and online
learning causes social isolation and results in pupils not developing the necessary communication skills.
Factors that determine how well a pupil’s education performs in online learning include individual
learning styles, learning environments, and the level of parental involvement.

In online teaching, there is minimal physical interaction between students and teachers. Many students
skip tasks and classroom sessions, an action that has implications for online education. While this can be
supported by learning technologies, it also affects students’ ability to interact with professors and ask
questions for immediate help.
