Impact of ICT in Education: Students’ Perspective

Abstract

ICT brought waves of industry transformations, which is also visible in education industry. With the changing environment and the industry demand, student’s perspective towards learning is also changing at a fast pace. Gone are the days when teachers used to merely teach through blackboards in a lecture hall. The scenario is no more visible these days. ICT in education is being used to enhance creativity, interaction and knowledge sharing apart from student learning. But, the question is whether e-learning environment is able to achieve these objectives? This paper will try to uncover how e-learning is giving a new shape to the education industry. Also, it will encompass the students’ perspective and experience of e-learning. The results reveal that government is taking many initiatives for developing and improving this platform. Despite the efforts by the Government, students are still not fully convinced with the potential benefits of e-learning. Furthermore, these platforms have confused the students regarding which one should they opt for. Based on these findings, the authors have developed managerial implications for the educators, students as well as educational institutions.
