Literature Review
21
√ The following literature review will focus on these questions,
including information about positive and negative effects, the
use of this technology, and the different types of technology.
22
changing the way of teaching and students learning. It was
introduced in schools in the 1930s, giving students the opportunity
to watch educational videos. Technology was not always available
for students to use; they progressed from the bottom to where we
are now. Keeping in mind the enormous changes in technology, all
of these changes were made due to the needs of the people and
their education. Having a better understanding of technology will
show people what else can be invented that will necessitate a better
understanding. Smart-boards, or interactive whiteboards, were
introduced in 1991 to replace traditional chalkboards. Smart-boards
are the new way students and professors interact. This new
technology allows them to keep their normal whiteboard and add a
device that converts their normal whiteboard to smart boards, where
students can go to the front and touch or write the answer on the
board with their finger, taking physical ink from the whiteboard
without the use of the projector, making the classroom environment
friendlier to students. According to Chris Dede (2009), the number of
computers in the classroom is increasing, making the computer the
most important tool in school and the internet a big part of students'
living. Programs have been developed through the internet to make
submitting work easier and faster. Blackboard is one of the
numerous programmes that the internet can provide to schools. It
may be simple for some people to use this technology, but it may
take longer for others to understand how a programme works. The
ability to finish your work on a computer and turn it in immediately
on the same device can be useful. Teachers post their lessons and
future assignments in these programmes or send them to students'
email addresses, but it is important to remember that students are
on a tight budget and cannot afford a computer. They must visit
their local library and borrow a computer.Students used to have to
write down their notes, do their homework with a pen or pencil, go
to teacher's office hours for tutoring, and so on before they had
access to all of this technology. Students did not have all of their
23
assignments saved on a computer or a USB drive. They would do
double the work that students do now, but that is because the work
that students do in this century is double that of previous
centuries.Some high schools have programmes where students can
borrow computers, laptops, and the most recent technology that the
school can afford. In 1868, Christopher Sholes invented the first
typewriter with a QWERTY keyboard; as a result, shorthand classes
were introduced in schools, allowing students to learn how to write
twice as many words in half the time. The first personal computers
were introduced to schools in 1977, when 18 percent of United
States public schools had one computer for instruction only. By 1991,
computers were in all schools, with one computer for every 18
students, and the number of computers continued to rise until the
year 2000, when one computer was available for every 5 students in
school. Adding to the evolution of computers, Texas Instruments
invented the first handheld calculator in 1967; since that year,
instead of making the long process of getting an answer, a machine
would do it. Technology requires education to function, and it is
through education that people invent the new tools that most people
have in their hands today. "Educational technology is not, and will
never be, transformative on its own. "It requires the help of
instructors who integrate technology into the curriculum, link it with
student learning objectives, and use it for engaged learning."
24
√ The findings given in this brief show that technology is being
effectively integrated into teaching and learning, and that it is
having a beneficial influence on student achievement as
measured by test scores and the acquisition of 21stcentury skills.
Providing a foundation of technology-based skills for today's
generation that fits into the bigger picture of global
competitiveness.
√ Teachers must learn how technology works and how to teach the
importance of this advantage to their students in order to reap
the benefits of technology. Teachers will not know how much
information students have access to if they are unfamiliar with
the content to which they are exposed.
25
■ Is adequate technology being provided to teachers in order to
prepare students for the future?
The goal of a teacher's education programme is to prepare students to
handle the demands that their courses will face in the future. Teachers that
have access to technology can make a significant difference in their
teaching methods, resulting in a better learning experience for students.
Teachers may be unsure if students will use personal devices in class as a
means of cheating or as a means of retaliating against the same teachers
who are allowing it.
26
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The study's goal was to learn about the public's perceptions and
awareness of online education. To understand preference towards
online or offline education based on the following factors: drivers,
hurdles, preferred teaching approach, payment alternatives, and so
on.
Primary research
Primary research is explained as a methodology used by
researchers to collect data directly, rather than depending on data
collected from previously done research. Technically, they “own”
27
the data. Primary research is carried out primarily to address a
specific problem that requires in-depth investigation.
Methods of analysis
Based on the feedback from the group meetings on Ed-tech with my
supervisor during my 6 months internship this project has
undertaken one-to-one interviews to gather existing user
requirements in terms of technology. In the process it adopted
literature review, reviewing application websites, and application
testing. It also invited a participant to review the current existing
Ed-tech platform available in the market.
Sample Size - Sample size for the primary research taken here
is of 25 participants including of industrial experts, educators.
Data collection
A survey was conducted among various industry experts,
educators. All the volunteers participated in an one-to-one
interview. The review of available all the technology provider in the
market was through three groups:
1) Tools that have been mentioned by the VLE group;
2) Tools recommended by the VLE or e-learning professional interest
groups and organizations.
3) Tools recommended in research papers and academic journal
articles in education settings, and reliable awards for learning
technology products.
28
A questionnaire containing all the questions asked in one to one interview with
volunteers is attached for reader’s reference.
RESULTS
The data showed that the participants have a positive view about
the use of technology in education delivery. There are three distinct
requirements particularly in relation to the use of the technology –
1- Providing assistance with online training and tutoring (the most
urgent requirement) Features like facilitating interaction and a
range of ways to engage users, recording, chat, video/audio, and
screen/application sharing are critical for online training and
tutoring.
2- Providing assistance with online lecture presentations (fairly
urgent requirement) Features such as supporting a large number of
simultaneously linked participants, recording, and playing high-
quality presentations are required for the use of online lecture
presentations. This user group is made up of people who work in
schools that offer e-learning courses and deliver lectures to big
groups of students.
29
3- Assisting with virtual meetings support for file transferring,
recording, hosting meetings, chat, video/audio, and screen sharing
are all crucial capabilities for virtual meetings. Almost everyone
agreed that the VCCS could help anyone, anywhere share and
communicate quickly. This application is not as critical as the other
two.
Secondary Data
Secondary research entails a thorough investigation of secondary
sources of information available in both the public domain and paid
sources. Each research study is based on more than 500 hours of
secondary research, supplemented by primary research. The
information collected from secondary sources is validated by cross-
referencing it with other data sources. Secondary data sources are
commonly used for:

DATA ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION
31
How much time do students spend using technology at
school and at home?
Teachers who utilize technology in their classrooms regularly in the
twenty-first century report greater benefits to students' learning
than teachers who use it less frequently. Researchers just revealed
one of the main findings from a K-12 technology study. According to
Nagel (2010), the increased use of technology can be explained as
follows:
32
➢ 26 percent of students are intermittent users who spend 11
percent to 20% of class time utilising technology.
➢ 34 percent of infrequent visitors reported spending 10% or less
of their time on the site.
The findings of the K-12 study show that most students use
technology more at school than at home, with more access to
technology at school due to computers, clickers, tablets, and cell
phones, among other things. Most of their material at school
nowadays involves more technology than just reading a book.
Frequent, moderate, and infrequent users spend the most of their
time at school using technology, although parents can limit their
children's access to technology and have a moderate use of
technology at home.
33
Usage of technology
According to various surveys, approximately 77 percent of preteens
(ages 10-13) and 86 percent of teens (ages 14-17) use the Internet
for schoolwork. While children do not use technology in the same
way that adults do, children still have a large percentage of
technology use and spend more time playing games online,
whereas teens and adult teens spend more time on e-mail (probably
talking to professors, getting grades, etc.) and schoolwork .
Some schools can provide the most up-to-date technology to their
pupils, and with this technology, students and teachers can better
comprehend why the use of technology in the classroom is
increasing. Others on their newest tablets can find wonderful
sources for their study on their projects by spending time on their
laptops. Calculators and smart-boards can be used to arrive at these
percentages on technology usage. "Students are frequently looking
for a site where they may get the most information in the shortest
amount of time with the least amount of work." When it comes to
researching their assigned topics, some teachers will provide a list
of trustworthy websites where students can conduct their research
and find excellent results.

amount of time with the least amount of work." When it comes to
conducting research on their assigned topics, some professors will,
in addition to Google, Wikipedia, and other search engines, provide
a list of credible websites where students can perform research and
get outstanding results. Some children, on the other hand, cannot
34
afford such luxury and must rely on what their schools can provide.
Due to financial limits, several schools offer programmes that
provide students with specific types of technology. Students will be
able to finish their assignments from home using a laptop computer.
35
instruction does not prepare pupils for real-life situations. The
majority of EdTech start-ups are attempting to solve this problem. In
an earlier interview with Inc42, Zishaan Hayath, CEO and cofounder
of Toppr, a popular online learning app, said, "The problem with the
traditional Indian education system is its 'one-size-fits-all' approach,
which fails to take into account the varied abilities of the students
they're trying to educate." This, combined with the uncertain quality
of teaching in schools, leaves students stranded after graduation, as
they lack the skills necessary to obtain good jobs." More than 15
million students in India study for competitive exams, creating a
large market for online test preparation start-ups, aided by the
internet's expansion into Tier 2 and Tier three cities. This provides a
large market for start-ups such as institution management solutions
like Class Plus. The majority of coaching sessions have an offline
infrastructure, showing scaling issues as well as a difficulty to
maintain a consistent post-classroom relationship with students and
parents. As a result, they are looking forward to using technology to
help them with their everyday work and administration. Start-ups
like Pesto, an EdTech business based in Gurugram, are also
attempting to bridge the talent gap between engineers and
multinational corporations. . The lasting goal of EdTech, according
to Ankur Aggarwal, creator of VR-based EdTech start-up Veative, is
to boost the desire to study, and AR/VR can help with that in a
stunning way. Beginning of A New Era of Learning? According to
Data Labs, the total value of test prep and K-12 EdTech startups is
expected to be $1.3 billion by 2021, indicating that the hottest
sectors in the Indian EdTech market will remain the same. More
forecasts like this can be found in Data Labs' latest research, The
Future of India's $2 Bn EdTech Opportunity Report
36
2020. "It's safe to say that the characteristics of the Chinese
economy that helped its EdTech industry boom find parallels in
India," said Akhil Shahani, Managing Director of The Shahani Group.
Furthermore, regulations appear to be in place in government and
private institutions for improved adoption of technology in education,
such as online learning platforms, "However, according to a new
market prediction from ABI Research, price points for equipment are
fast lowering." Another analysis, "Augmented and Virtual Reality in
Education," predicts that the market for augmented reality in
education would reach $5.3 billion by 2023, with the market for
virtual reality head-mounted displays trailing at $640 million.
Additionally, favourable market conditions combined with rising
demand make the talent development sub-sector a viable prospect
for high-value returns for Indian startup shareholders. In addition,
Inc42 has compiled a list of EdTech startups that are predicted to
have the most market impact in 2020. White Hat Jr, Playshifu, Lido
Learning, Pesto, Kings Learning, Cuemath, and Classplus are among
the companies on the list. As a result of the closure of schools and
other educational institutions due to the coronavirus, more EdTech
start-ups are predicted to thrive, as observed in China.

always meet with their supervisors on a regular basis. As a result,
they employ technology to communicate with them. Emailing and
communicating information, as well as preparing assignments and
projects, all make use of technology. In order to complete their
homework properly, the other students must engage with one
another and exchange ideas. As a result, the employment of
technologies has made a substantial contribution to the facilitation
of interpersonal communication. Technologies have made it easier
to communicate short messages, ideas, and opinions, as well as
extensive assignments, reports, and project plans.

6. Idea generation to provide solutions to problems – The
development of ideas is required to propose answers to problems
and obstacles that may arise during the performance of job
activities. Individuals can provide solutions to challenges by
utilizing technology and modern and inventive techniques. Those
who see the facts from a different perspective or with new insights
are often the ones that come up with the most innovative answers.
42
Conclusion
To summarize, the majority of options for possessing technology and
understanding how to use it are increasing on a daily basis. Most
classrooms throughout the world are incorporating technology into
their teaching methods, and technology has both positively and
negatively altered education. Adding programme where students
may reach their goals regardless of where they live, with the
internet playing a major role in this development. Giving children
work chances by teaching them how to use the most popular
computer programs.
Technology and the internet have been used extensively not only in
educational institutions but also in other organizations. Individuals are
increasingly relying on the internet to supplement their knowledge
and comprehension, as well as for other purposes. The main
advantages of innovation and educational technologies are that tasks
become less time consuming, editing and changes become easier,
communication improves, leading to fundamental changes in the
educational system, the generation of ideas to provide solutions to
problems, the support of the learning cycle, the promotion of aligned
and effective assessments, the creation of data standards and strong
information platforms, the improvement of productivity and
effectiveness, and the development of technology.
Another idea that has been considered is that educational
impediments to creativity. These include a lack of clarity on the
problem to be solved, a lack of clear and common metrics, policy
that is opaque to most innovators, a lack of research, a lack of
technology and innovation, a lack of competencies, a weak
knowledge base, a lack of infrastructure, a lack of financial
resources, and ineffective dissemination.Human resources must
improve their skills and talents in order to make efficient use of
technologies and implement new approaches in the execution of
various jobs.
43
Recommendation
44
Limitations
Tasks and actions in the sphere of education must be carried out
at the educator, student, educational institution, and system
levels. Members of educational institutions strive to perform their
responsibilities and roles to the best of their abilities and produce
appropriate results. To reach their goals and objectives,
businesses must employ new and inventive ways and approaches.
Certain hurdles arise with the implementation of modern and
creative ideas, which have been listed below:
45
infrastructure in order to lead to the evolution of the whole
educational system. The improvement of infrastructural
amenities improves the overall learning environment within
educational institutions and classrooms. The main
infrastructural facilities include laboratories, library facilities,
computer centers, playgrounds, civic amenities, and the
provision of adequate furniture, equipment, and
teachinglearning materials within classrooms and other
facilities, which may lead to the development of interest and
motivation and enable individuals to carry out their job duties
in an organized manner. On the other hand, the absence of
these facilities is viewed as a severe impediment to the
completion of tasks and activities. As a result, it is critical for
educators to improve infrastructure.
• Weak Knowledge Base - It is critical for individuals to
improve their knowledge and talents, especially in terms of
their job responsibilities. In some circumstances, educators
are unaware of acceptable teaching-learning approaches, lack
adequate knowledge of their subjects and concepts, and lack
expertise. As a result of these factors, they are unable to
assist students in achieving their academic goals and
objectives, they are unable to provide adequate answers to
questions posed by students, and they face impediments in
the course of achieving academic goals and progressing the
overall educational system. As a result, it is critical for
employees not only in teaching roles but also in other
professions, to be able to carry out their job obligations
effectively.
46
Individuals must have the necessary educational qualifications,
competencies, aptitude, and experience to pursue these
occupations. Individuals' lack of competencies is viewed as
the most significant hurdle to task and activity
implementation. When it comes to bringing about innovations,
they must ensure that their competencies and aptitude are
enhanced. They must perform to the best of their skills in
order to achieve the required results.
