**Abstract**

Covid-19 pandemic made a paradigm shift in the education scenario across the globe. In an attempt to contain the infection classes were conducted online. Traditional classes and online classes are completely different from the teacher and student perspective but there was no other alternatives. The major domains of teaching and learning are, knowledge, cognitive, interpersonal, communication psychomotor skills. Each domain demands different teaching and assessment methods to achieve the intended learning outcomes. The teaching and assessment methods were modified to a great extent in online teaching. Delivering lectures online can be considered as effective as far as the outcome domain is limited to knowledge but for other domains like cognitive, psychomotor, interpersonal and communication, it is questionable. The various factors affecting in intended learning outcomes are one to one discussion with teacher and peers, adequate prerequisite knowledge, motivation, learning hours and style, active learning, learning interest, attitude of instructor and learner, IT skills. In order to assure the achievement of learning outcomes, careful focus on the identification learning gaps in online teaching has to be done along with implementation of corrective measures to address them.
