INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the Project is to examine the relationship between the use of information and
communication technologies (ICT) and Learning in higher education. During the last two
decades higher education institutions have invested heavily in information and communication
technologies (ICT). ICT has had a major impact in the university context, in organization and in
teaching and learning method. It is difficult and maybe even impossible to imagine future
learning environments that are not supported, in one way or another, by Information and
Communication Technologies (ICT). There is, in other words, a widespread belief that ICTs
have an important role to play in changing and modernizing educational systems and ways of
learning.
The impact of the ICT on learning can be approached in different ways. There is no single
concept of learning through the use of ICT. Many different types can be envisaged: computer
assisted learning, web-learning, computer-classes, online training, distance education, eLearning,
virtual learning, digital training, projector in classroom, microphone, use of Power point slide
etc. Consequently, its impact on the learning process should encompass not only traditional
learning outcomes but also the use of ICT by teachers (teacher training), the organizational use
of ICT by education and training institutions, and, last but not least, the impact of ICT-enabled
education on, for instance, personal development, confidence and self esteem.

PROBLEM FORMULATION:
OBJECTIVE
To find out the impact of ICT on Learning in higher education by developing hypothesis.
HYPOTHESIS
1. General point of view
Null hypothesis:
The mean rating of student perception about ICT is not significantly different from the average
perception value, which is 3.
Alternate hypothesis:
The mean rating of student perception about ICT is significantly different from the average
perception value, which is 3.
2. According to gender
Null hypothesis:
The mean rating of perception about ICT is not significantly different among male and female ,
that is 3.
Alternate hypothesis:
The mean rating of perception about ICT is significantly different among male and female , that
is 3.
3. According to the program pursuing by the student
Null hypothesis:
The mean rating of perception about ICT is not significantly different among the student of
different program, which is 3.
Alternate hypothesis:
The mean rating of perception about ICT is significantly different among the student of different
program, which is 3.
4. According to the medium of education
Null hypothesis:
The mean rating of perception about ICT is not significantly different among the student of
different medium of education, which is 3.

Alternate hypothesis:
The mean rating of perception about ICT is significantly different among the student of different
medium of education, which is 3.
RESEARCH DESIGN
A research design is a framework or blueprint for conducting the research project. It specifies the
precise details of the procedures necessary for obtaining the required information. It is important
to have a good research design in order to ensure that the research project is conducted
effectively and efficiently.
DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH DESIGN
In that regard, we have developed a questionnaire for students to learn more about the impact of
ICT on learning. For ex:

SAMPLING DESIGN
UNIVERSE
All students of Galgotias university.
SAMPLE SIZE
Sample size is around 100(50-MBA, 25-MCA and 25-B.Tech)
SAMPLING METHODS
In this project we had used the non probability (convenience sampling).
CONVENIENCE SAMPLING
Convenience sampling attempts to obtain a sample of convenient elements. Often, respondents are selected because they happen to be in the right place at the right time.

DATA ANALYSIS
Analysis of data is a process of inspecting, cleaning, transforming, and modeling data with the
goal of highlighting useful information, suggesting conclusions, and supporting decision making.
Data analysis has multiple facets and approaches, encompassing diverse techniques under a
variety of names, in different business, science, and social science domains.

CONCLUSION
After performing the data analysis and calculating the mean and Anova test we conclude that-
1) There is positive impact of ICT on learning.
2) Both male and female perception is same, which is they think there is positive impact of ICT
on learning.
3) Student of different program think that there is positive impact of calculator and on line
support in learning, where as LCD and microphone does not provide any impact on learning.
4) Both Hindi and English medium student perception are same regarding the impact of ICT on
learning, which is ICT is providing positive impact on learning.
