| Summary: | Instructional Technology has indeed been a catalyst for change. This study deals with
relevance and impact of IT on the current educational systems. Correct data analysis can
lead to optimal solutions so that we can augment the benefits of IT enhanced education
on student achievement. A validated questionnaire after testing for its reliability was
administered to business school students of Delhi-NCR region. It was ensured that
there was fair representation of both private and government institutions. The initial
descriptives indicated that students were willing to spend small amounts of money on
internet use. A simple t-test revealed that students were willing to study the easier part
of the syllabi online but wanted a healthy interaction with the instructors who were
probably viewed as “emotional crutches”, for clarifications, feedback, and removal of
doubts and anxieties. Class capture systems were found to be moderately useful due to
slow downloads. An independent sample t-test yielded complete gender equity in all
variables of perception, attitude and preferences towards technology use except on the
variable “ease of learning”. So we must ensure that enough training and support is
provided before any implementation. Change management should be structured such
that the strengths of both genders can be suitably utilized. |
