of such in-video questionnaire helps to determine actual
knowledge gain by the student and completion of the course.
Another mechanism of assessing a student accurately in the
online mode could be where they are asked to answer a
question or speak upon a topic covered in the content through
a video submission and trying to match the students answer
with the content covered by mapping key terms in the
content. A score of 60 percent or above match is a parameter
of qualification. These mechanisms not only assist in
ensuring actual knowledge gain in students but also uplift the
quality of certified candidates entering the industry.

V. RESULT AND DISCUSSION

Numerous studies and academic institutions are
interested in evaluating various e-learning, online learning,
blended learning, and face-to-face course formats to
determine which is more beneficial in terms of, for example,
learning outcome and student satisfaction. However, research
demonstrates that learning and teaching are complicated
processes that are impacted by factors more than just the
teaching method. We should therefore investigate the
