Name of Author : Dr. A Karthika Unnithan

Abstract: The teaching of literature poses significant challenges when transferred from face-to-face to a distance learning setting. Focusing on a wide variety of contexts, considerations to this paper bring to the fore some of the main difficulties of teaching literature at a distance. These are blended around 3 major angles, which are mirrored in the three sections of the paper. They are 1) curricula or genre-specific pedagogies in virtual literature classrooms 2) Specific digital applications and online resources in literary studies and 3) positive estimate of the potential of the still new platforms for virtual teaching in literature during the Covid pandemic time. One of the main limitations of the following study is that it is mainly focussing on the contextual setting of Indian scenario. As schools and colleges across India, embrace online learning during Covid pandemic period, critics prefer to portray Internet as the killer of direct and conscientious learning.
