As per above table 2, indicates the frequency of use of ICT.From the analysis it is found that students are using ICT once a week for browsing and downloading and study material which is 3.6 per cent, Online reading books/journals/magazines 3.9 Per cent, Watch lecture videos is 3.3 per cent and know about new technology is 4.2 per cent
FINDINGS & CONCLUSION:
From the above analysis it is seen that teachers have agreed that ICT is helpful in teaching and students are of view that ICT is helpful in learning. Teachers are using ICT for their academic activities for teaching and evaluation, to use ICT for digital resources, to prepare lessons and to do exam related work. From the above study it is also found that the students are also using ICT into learning for browsing and downloading study material, Online reading books/journals/magazines, Watch lecture videos and to know about new technology. Hence it can be concluded that ICT has an important role to enhance the teaching, learning and evaluation. Majority of teachers use computers for teaching, exam related work. It is also found that ICT has enhanced E-learning in colleges. Information can be accessed online by the teachers and students which saves time as compared to the filing system. It has also made easy for teachers to update teaching-learning materials by learning about the latest materials improving their work.
