modern era, impacting people in all walks of life. Educational sector saw a quantum leap into digital teachinglearning.
The situation was unique and there emerged an unfamiliar order in the midst of pandemic chaos.
Despite many adversities faced by the teaching fraternity and the student community, the learning never
stopped. The study aimed to find out the attitude and aptitude of students in India during the lockdown.
This study draws out the following conclusions – Zoom and Cisco Webex were the top two platforms that
the students had knowledge of for remote learning; students ranked their computer skills as good (47%), fair
(33.80%) and poor (19.20%); 49.60 per cent of the students ranked their app skills as good, 34.10 per cent fair
and 16.40 per cent poor; a significant difference in the computer skills, app skills and overall skills (both
computer and app) of the students was observed. Students opined that online mode of teaching was not
suitable for practical content, more self dependency consequently stressful and provided an opportunity to
choose their learning style. There was a significant difference between the knowledge, skill, and attitude of the
students. The top two problems cited by the students in online classes were network connectivity issues and
a pressing need for more storage space to avail the data related to course content.

Data obtained by online survey were statistically analyzed by percentage, mean, standard deviation and one way ANOVA. Findings from 267 respondents suggest that most mask wearers were troubled by pressure ulcers due to continuous use, pain around the ears/ nose due to constant pressure by the mask, skin irritation and steaming up of eyeglasses. Appropriate solutions for reducing the problems have been suggested. More than fifty percent of the subjects expressed a positive overall mask experience. A majority (84%) of the respondents were ready to make mask a part of their daily ensemble. The effect of profile characteristics i.e. gender, age, education, employment sector and profession on the overall experience of wearer regarding mandatory mask usage has been reported. The study was instrumental in gathering valuable data pertaining to mask use during the first wave of corona and the common problems faced by the respondents.

WhatsApp emerged as the most preferred medium for sharing messages, photos, and videos. There was a significant difference between the use of social media networks and the content shared on them. Content related to music, cooking, and movies were watched on the top three social networking sites namely YouTube, WhatsApp, and Instagram. The study found a significant difference between watched social media networks. There exists a significant difference regarding the different contents watched on social media. A significant difference between watched and shared content in different social media networks was also established. The three most important advantages of social media as perceived by the students were convenience in keeping in touch with friends, ease to learn new technology, knowledge of various academic institutions...

Study Design: Exploratory design. Place and Duration of Study: Students from the government, aided colleges, and state agriculture universities in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana were administered the questionnaire in May 2020. Methodology: A total of 315 students (age range under 20-40 years) actively participating in online classes were chosen. Results: The majority of the students possessed mobile phones even before lockdown and used them for digital learning. Students reported an increase in the amount spent on internet connectivity per month (50%), increased usage of data (70%), and increased recharge amount (46%). Since the overall mobile data usage of the students has greatly increased, consequently the amount spent on the internet also has increased after lockdown. Alth...
