Highlights
- For the first time, Bhutanese students embraced Google Classroom as tools for teaching and learning in the wake of COVID-19.
- From this perspective, this study aims to investigate the students’ perception on the efficiency of Google Classroom and identify the challenges and opportunities in implementation of Google classroom.
- We employed the convergent parallel mixed method design with 100 students from Gongzim Ugyen Dorji Central School. Survey questionnaires and structured interviews were used to collect the data.
- Findings indicated that Google Classroom is an effective online learning management system compared to traditional styles of teaching and learning.
- There is no statistically significant difference between the perceptions of males and females regarding the efficiency of the Google classroom.
- We examined the challenges and opportunities that students of less affluent families may encounter when attending online class because of the cost of digital devices, data plans and poor network connectivity.
- The abrupt transition of face to face traditional instruction to remote learning requires the integration of digital education tools to realize Bhutan’s vision of becoming a knowledge –based society which invokes the need of a fourth industrial revolution.
