Abstract: The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic had made imparting face-to-face classes impossible and educational institutions worldwide had to move quickly to online teaching mode. The three research objectives are to explore the impact of COVID-19 on the dimensions of student engagement while teaching through online learning platforms; to explore the teaching strategies adopted to enhance student engagement while teaching through online learning platforms, and to map the teaching strategies with the impact and the effort required to implement them. This current study is a qualitative study that collates data from the teachers teaching the education at tertiary level (higher education) students during the COVID-19 pandemic through semi-structured interviews. This insightful study has multifold implications for academicians, students, universities, and also the government for policymaking. This research would also give insights into the edu-tech industry to develop relevant teaching tools for an online environment.

Keywords: online; student engagement; teaching strategies; qualitative study; COVID-19.
