3. Information technology (IT) is the application of
computers and telecommunications equipment to
store, retrieve, transmit and manipulate data, often in
the context of a business or other enterprise.
4. ➜ The term information technology in its
modern sense first appeared in a 1958
article published in the Harvard Business
Review.
➜ Consists of three categories:
1. Processing
2. Using of statistics as a mathematical device for decision
making
3. High order thinking using computer programs
➜ Distinguishing phases of IT development.
Information Technology
5. Using IT
Offers more economics of
scale
More convenience in data
storage
Eases limits of time and
space
Enhances active learning and
personal responsibility
7. How IT effects
Easy way to gather
knowledge
Better utilization of time
Driving some to wrong
path
8. IT in the academic sector
Research universities will lose out competitively to
other higher education segments. Well-endowed
highly selective institutions will do better than
average.
Liberal arts institutions will be hard-pressed
financially as the cost of labor continues to rise
relative to the rate of inflation.
More innovative nontraditional providers will take
over a greater share of the undergraduate
education market. They will deliver higher
education more cheaply.
The knowledge base will atrophy as research
universities falter.
9. E-book File Formats
Sustainability of E-book
Collections
E-BOOK in Academic Libraries
E-book Leasing and
Licensing
E-book Pricing
10. Use of IT in Research
IT in Medical Research
Improving health care system
Reducing expenses
Increasing patient safety
Information Technology in Government Innovation
New technology offers new opportunities
Advancement in Information Technology has created new
dimension in research and technology by removing from the
researchers the constraints of speed, cost and distance.
The amount of data that can be analyzed has expanded, as has
the complexity of analyses
And researchers can collaborate more widely and efficiently.
Helps in medical research and government innovation program.
12. MOOC
Free and paid online courses
Affiliation with the major universities of the
world
Virtual interactive sessions
Examples:
➜ Online: Coursera, Udacity, Udemy, Peer-to-
Peer University (p2p university), Stanford
Online
➜ University Affiliated: University of Melbourne,
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT),
Berkley College of Music, Harvard, University
of London etc.
13. Online Communication between Home
and School
# Empowering teachers and building up student-
teacher network
# Lesson Planning and Teaching
# Open-source technologies (Internet resources)
# Online education portfolios to evaluate students
# Student Assessment
14. Skype
Skype allows making calls, text messages , screen sharing,
video chat , text chat and more.
Chat and video allows for synchronous communication ,
breaking the traditional boundary of classrooms.
Skype conversations are saved for future references.
Skype is a huge advantage for deaf students who can
communicate in sign language.
People can share their screens and work in the same document.

18. • Organizations have accepted
that IT is a tool that needs to
be understood, know the
concept and have the ability to
adapt to its usage.
• Speeds up the academic
activities
• Makes data storage more easy
and convenient.
• Everything is done
electronically, making the
process of reports easier
saving time.
• Support of students is also
very crucial
