I personally use Zoom Classroom, Google Classroom, Edmodo, Youtube Channel, Camtasia Screen Recorder, and Google form (for online Tests/quizzes). You may use synchronous mode (where the teacher is present at the same time as the learner) or asynchronous mode (where teaching materials are posted online, and learners work through them in their own time). The faculty member can record his/her course video lectures or do a voiceover on the ppt slides and upload on any LMS or even instructors can use social media (Facebook or Watsapp, or Youtube).
