Abstract

The education sector is considered to be a significant contributor to the global economy faced a severe blow with the onset and progression of COVID-19. With the turmoil that had been created, the educational concerns and administration who had long resented the introduction of technology in the designing and implementation of the curriculum, were left with no option but to walk on the path they had dreaded for long. The sudden shift from conventional system of schooling to the web-based system of instruction did present a variety of conundrums for both the educators and the pupils, however, it was the prospects, and particularly those brought by the use of ICTs that made this shift a lucrative option in pedagogical sphere. Despite the fact that there have been innumerable studies on the students and teachers perceptiveness of the virtual pedagogy, there are still some areas that have not been explored to their full potential, one of them being the amalgamation of the ICT trends and commerce education. This study intends to find out the efficacy, utility and the future of the ICT tools, especially in commerce education.
