Emerging Web technology in Higher Education in Jharkhand, ICT preferences, opportunities and challenges: A Case Stud

Abstract

The prevalence of developing web technologies in academic settings is increasing. Nevertheless, a significant challenge in the implementation of online education lies in the insufficient comprehension of learners' attributes and attitudes towards the use of technology. Hence, it is imperative to comprehend the correlation between students' learning patterns and their predilections for instructional tactics, encompassing the utilization of developing web technologies. Learning styles offer insights into the distinct variations in learning preferences among individuals, thereby offering guidance on how instructional design might be optimized to accommodate these preferences effectively. This paper presents a research framework that aims to integrate developing online technologies into higher education, taking into consideration students' learning styles and technology preferences. Additionally, a case study has been conducted to verify the effectiveness of the suggested framework. The study employs an action research methodology, which involves conducting a survey to gather information on students' learning styles and technology preferences. Based on the survey findings, a combination of emerging web technologies is incorporated. The study also analyses the significant accomplishments and limitations to redefine the research objectives. The research offers evidence in favor of the suggested theoretical framework by emphasizing the notable correlations between students' learning styles and technology choices, as well as their influence on academic achievement.
