Abstract

The pandemic is a distressing time for academia. The past 24 months have caused a deeper rift between learning and teaching. Online classes have become necessary overnight, but the transition was not smooth and productive. Moreover, educating students with speech and hearing disabilities online is not similar to those who can hear and speak. The present study explores the challenges of online classes, the struggles of the student–teacher community, and the limitations of technology to make virtual education possible for the hearing–speech impaired students in Jammu and Kashmir. The study also captures some of the possibilities of effective deliverance. Finally, it suggests imperative changes to make online learning accessible, inclusive and meaningful for the hearing–speech impaired community that depends on facial expressions, lip-sync and sign language to learn and communicate. This article encapsulates how accessible and effective online learning is among the hearing–speech impaired students in the region.

新冠肺炎背景下在线学习的挑战与机遇——对查谟和克什米尔地区听言语障碍学生的研究

疫情对学术界来说是一个痛苦的时刻。过去的24个月造成了学习和教学之间更深的裂痕。在线课程在一夜之间变得必要，但过渡并不顺利和富有成效。此外，在线教育有言语和听力障碍的学生与那些能听能说的学生不同。本研究探讨了在线课堂的挑战、学生和教师群体的斗争，以及为查谟和克什米尔听力受损学生提供虚拟教育的技术局限性。这项研究还捕捉到了一些有效解救的可能性。最后，它建议进行必要的改变，使在线学习对依赖面部表情、口型和手语学习和交流的听力受损社区来说是可访问的、包容性的和有意义的。这篇文章概括了该地区听力受损学生在线学习的可及性和有效性。
