E-learning and pedagogical challenges: A study in student's response

摘要

The paper is based an empirical study on the students' response to their preferred mode of study. The data suggest statistically significant variations in the preferred mode between the students studying through distance education channel' and those studying in the regular university departments', as also between and within some sub-groups of the students. In the backdrop of crisis, such as faculty crunch, that the contemporary education system faces, the paper makes a case for blended learning and puts forth a model which promises to provide a more satisfying experience to the shades of students in their venture.
