The COVID-19 pandemic has interrupted all facets of our daily lives.
It has impacted the educational system as well, forcing the inclusion
of technology tools to extend the outreach to the masses and to build
scientific temper in the society. The present study is aimed to
investigate the viewpoints of students, teachers, and the general
public engaged in webinars, online workshops/camps conducted by
Pushpa Gujral Science City, Kapurthala during COVID-19 pandemic
in India. A nominal registration fee was charged for online
workshops/camps, however, participation in webinars was free of
cost. An online Feedback form with a questionnaire on participants’
perspectives was developed and shared with participants after every
event.
Feedback data comprising 634 webinar participants and 398
Online workshops/camps participants was analysed. Results indicated
that E-learning has become quite popular among the students during
restrictions imposed due to COVID 19 pandemic. Webinars and
online workshops/camps helped to continue and extend the outreach
of the Science Popularisation activities during lockdown. This paper
presents the geographical, demographic, mobilization, usefulness and
category wise analysis of the findings conducted during the study.
