The sudden move towards online education during COVID-19 has raised big challenges for students as well as for educators also. Most of the learners and educators have no idea of e-learning tools and the traditional pedagogy is making the online learning solo and monotonous with a negative impact on their physical and mental health. The Article examines the effectiveness of cooperative learning pedagogy towards online learning during COVID-19. Using independent sample t-test in a comparative study between two groups taught with different pedagogies it was proved statistically significantly that the cooperative learning pedagogy may be much better for making online education interactive and to develop social skills, expertise, happiness and interest among the online learners. Cooperative learning also improved the results of the learners making a positive effect on their health.
