چکیده:
The coronavirus pandemic has compelled academic institutions across the globe to initiate online teaching, impacting thereby the teaching-learning process to undergo a structural change. Among various pedagogical techniques that have been adopted, organizing synchronous classes has been found to be the most beneficial. It simulates the classroom environment, facilitating thereby parallel knowledge dissemination to a broader audience. This study measures the efficacy of synchronous web-based learning during this ongoing pandemic, among postgraduate Library and Information Science (LIS) students of Bangladesh. Using an online questionnaire, a survey was conducted among the postgraduate students of the Department of Information Science Library Management (ISLM) of the University of Dhaka. The results revealed that limitation of internet data, unstable internet, along with power blackouts were some of the primary inhibitors blocking the participants to attend classes online. Finally, this study concludes that as most students do not seem to be ready yet to study in a synchronous delivery mode, it recommends educational institutions in Bangladesh to provide an alternative delivery method, in order to sustain academic excellence in these challenging times.

This study measures the efficacy of synchronous web-based learning during this ongoing pandemic, among postgraduate Library and Information Science (LIS) students of Bangladesh.
Knowledge management in the 21st-century, can help educational institutions identify what is expected in KM through synchronous learning for solving problems, and thereby help students to achieve learning gains during such unforeseen and cataclysmic situations (like the pandemic) (Anongkhanatrakul, 2004).
com Objectives and Research Questions of the Study This study looks to assess the impact of synchronous learning together with KM ideas in a pandemic situation from the students of LIS, as most educational institutions in Bangladesh, begin to shift towards e-learning due to the ongoing pandemic.
Affordability Synchronous instruction is rapidly becoming an essential mode of communication in online learning with the affordability of broadband/mobile internet accessibility and more diverse advanced technology (Shi et al.
3%) participants agreed with the fact that there is an impact of KM and web-based synchronous learning in pandemic situations in higher educational institutions, while 4(8.
Studying the adoption of the online classroom system wouldlead universities and higher educational institutes (HEIs) to understand the needs of their students better, and ultimately lead to an effective online class system (El-Masri & Tarhini, 2017; Alksasbeh et al.
