Scope of technology in higher education in India: A study

Abstract

E-learning is the buzz word in the field of education. Realising the advantages of using technology in education, the University of Delhi is launching its e-learning portal. Based on a survey of 240 college students from both private management institutes and colleges of University of Delhi, the paper focuses at gauging the existing state of technology in these institutes. This will provide a framework to promote Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in higher education. The study also aims at giving suggestions and recommendations to improve quality of higher education in India. The survey shows that the present state of technology in higher educational institutes is not good enough to effectively use technology in education. Thus, the merits of traditional classroom teaching and ICT tools should be integrated into a single system.
