Abstract
With the onset of Covid-19, almost every sector of the economy has been adversely affected with the education sector being no exception. To contain the spread of the deadly virus, the education sector in India witnessed the closure of all the educational institutions from March 2020 leading to a disruption in education across the country. This called for using digital technologies for meeting the curriculum expectations and bringing about a planned restructuring in the teaching–learning process. This chapter explores the use of ICT for the management and organisation of knowledge and the application of the same. The various technologies that are available and the ones that are being developed to cater to the needs of different classes of students, keeping in view the digital divide prevalent in India. The challenges involved in the digitalisation of education and the need for promotion of the available technologies and platforms that would help us in transition from the conventional education to new avenues of online learning in line with the changes that are inevitable in the education sector in India, given the challenges in the external environment.
