Abstract

With the continuing development in the e-learning platforms, a great shift can be seen from traditional modes of education to AI-based education to provide lifelong learning prospects to the students. The implementation of e-learning technology has resulted in certain complications on academic professionals. The emphasis of this chapter is to highlight the challenges and factors that influence the usage of AI-enabled e-learning system during the COVID-19 pandemic; though the e-learning systems were introduced in many universities a few years back, the pace for its adaptability was enhanced during COVID-19, without any proper guidance and support to the teaching staff. This study seeks to investigate the challenges and identify the factors that impact the usage of e-learning systems during the COVID-19 pandemic by the teachers. This study will explore the teachers' perceptions towards e-learning and will provide contextual information on usage pattern and the nature of e-learning.

Educational sustainability is a complicated problem that is revolves around indefinite and uncertainty. As a result, depicting new behavioural patterns demands a high level of involvement, communication, knowledge and patience. Universities may play an important role as innovators in this setting by leveraging the networking, research-oriented education and technological infrastructure. Through their curricula and operational areas, they may provide in-depth information (Howarth et al., 2019) in the education system that will provide an extensive support to promote sustainability in the education and learning. Education Sustainable Development refers to multidimensional stages of learning surroundings, learning material, and the learning method (UNESCO, 2018).
