Technology and Online Learning Trends among Students: A Study of Thiruvananthapuram District, Kerala

Abstract

Internet technology has advanced significantly over the past ten years, having an impact on many fields, particularly education. Digital technologies have brought about a transformation in the creation, utilization, and cross-platform sharing of educational media. Given how mobile and wireless technologies are changing and defining new literacy in teaching and learning, new media and their integration could be incorporated into the educational programs. As a result of its participatory nature, the internet has really produced several inventions and services. Wireless networks and ubiquitous, low-cost microprocessors have made it possible for us to access and manage information virtually anywhere, at any time. As a result, mobile devices have become widely used. Education providers, sociologists, neuroscientists, and theorists from a variety of disciplines believe that learning today involves entirely new tools, which include a wide range of media forms like images, video and audio clips, hypertext, hypermedia, software applications, and web pages. This is due to the significant rise of digital resources in diverse types and forms.
