This document discusses how information technology impacts academics and students. It outlines how IT enables more convenient data storage and transmission, enhancing learning through greater access to information. While IT provides benefits like easier research, it can also enable distractions and plagiarism if misused. The document also examines how IT is changing higher education through innovations like MOOCs, e-books, and online communication between schools and homes, noting both opportunities and challenges. Research is also impacted, with IT allowing more data-driven analysis and global collaboration, influencing over 40% of research according to one graph. Overall, the document suggests that while IT is a valuable tool, its use must be properly understood to reap benefits and avoid negative impacts.

1. Effect of IT on
Students
Academics

2. Information
Technology

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

6. The number of IT user Students World Wide

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.

11. MOOC

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
