The sudden outbreak of a deadly disease called Covid-19 shook the entire world. To prevent the virus from spreading, the World Health Organization declared it as a pandemic resulted in the sudden closure of schools and colleges for the safety of teachers and students, this has interrupted the teaching plans, challenged the education system across the world and forced educators to shift to an online mode of teaching overnight.
