Abstract: COVID-19 has transformed human life and the new normal has transformed business and social practices of humans. Such changes have also affected the education sector where conventional learning is transformed to online learning and assessments have resulted in online assessments. Such transformation is not a technological shift, but it has long-term implications for all the stakeholders. To continuously improve the learning practices during this pandemic time there is a need for information exchange to foster best practices. In this paper, we have compared the students' assessment performance by conventional face-to-face learning and online learning, and we found minimum variations. Based on our approach adopted during online lectures we have proposed a model to foster effective learning during the COVID-19 period. The findings from this study will help other institutions and academics to foster a better learning environment for their students.
