This qualitative study investigates pedagogical practices in Sri Lankan government universities by interviewing eight instructors across eight public universities. Results show a sustained shift to online teaching, assessment, and evaluation, alongside early challenges including technical issues, economic constraints, and limited resources. The study recommends continuing digital infrastructure and blended approaches, training educators, and strengthening institutional support while balancing technology with human

The public education system shifted towards one centered on information technology due to the COVID-19 epidemic. Hence, in recent years, online learning has emerged as a substantial curriculum component at several educational institutions in Sri Lanka. The present investigation explores the pedagogical practices in Sri Lankan government universities in the new normal via a qualitative approach by interviewing eight instructors in eight public universities. The findings revealed that the pedagogy has shifted to an online context with the pandemic, and the education system continuously applies online teaching, assessment, and evaluation techniques. Teachers and students initially encountered various issues in the new normal, including technical difficulties, economic  \n1 Main author, responsible for Conceptualization, Data curation, Formal Analysis, Funding acquisition, Investigation, Methodology, Validation, Visualization, Writing – original draft, Writing – review & editing.  \n2 Co-author, responsible for Conceptualization, Methodology, Supervision, Validation.  \n3 Co-author, responsible for Visualization, Writing – original draft, Writing – review & editing.  \n4 Corresponding author, responsible for Funding acquisition, Methodology, Project administration, Writing – review & editing.  \nconditions, and a lack of available resources for integrating IT into the education pedagogy. Hence, current practices should continue facilitating digital infrastructure and blended approaches for better outcomes. The authors recommend that policymakers and authorities take high responsibility for building an effective IT-based strategy. It is vital to train educators and encourage them to fully utilize the recent movement towards online instruction by supplying all the necessary technological skills. Training educators and encouraging them to utilize the recent movement towards online instruction entirely is vital by supplying all the necessary technological skills. The government should provide essential infrastructure and facilities to institutions while working toward creating a welcoming atmosphere within universities. Giving encouragement and financial aid to students is critical to alleviating student pressures while transitioning to online learning methods. Policymakers must consider the significance of the human component and realize that technology alone cannot solve every problem. The present transition in the educational system demands implementing a strategic framework to identify the strengthsand address the shortcomings.  \nKeywords: pedagogy; online learning; blended learning; information technology, education system.  \n1.
