Abstract

The need for self-directed learning (SDL) is more now in the lockdown period with the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic (COVID-19). Online teaching and learning require SDL more than face-to-face teaching. Therefore, curiosity to learn is the first step to learning more, and the first attempt to learn is the need of the hour.
