Role of Information Communication Technology in Modern Educational System at University Level

摘要

Technological storm has significant impact on our lives. People, as whole have become so dependent on technology that they would not know how to survive without it. The digital revolution is driving the societal trends. Likewise, technological advancements have tremendous influence on educational institutions as well. The substantial growth in the demand of higher education has generated the need of innovative and flexible approaches of learning. In an educational system "teaching" and "learning" are the two major activities besides "assessment" which is a coordinating activity. The Information Communication Technology (ICT) has a potential to transform the different areas of the educational system. In this paper, our focus is to identify the current issues and challenges in our educational system and to propose the role of Information Communication Technology and its successful implementation to overcome these challenges. This paper also provides some recommendations which could be used as a catalyst for the promotion of information communication technology services in the context of higher education.
