Changes in the economic and social fundamentals call for transformation in the skills, capabilities and attitudes of the masses. This requires a shift in the delivery and pedagogy used in the current education system. The purpose of this paper is to promote integration of Information and Communication technologies (ICT) in higher education for imparting easily accessible, affordable and quality higher education leading to the economic upliftment of India.

The focus of the paper is on the benefits that ICT integration in education can provide, right from breaking time and distance barriers to facilitating collaboration and knowledge sharing among geographically distributed students.

Description

The students and the faculty are the key stakeholders in the process of education. Technology enabled education has opened up new frontiers for all the stakeholders in education. However, it appears that the perceptions of the faculty about technology enabled distance education are not studied in depth. Such a study is essential as it can reveal the reasons and the concerns that the faculty have about distance education. If properly addressed, it will help make the distance education programs gain more acceptance among the faculty. This paper conducts a literature review concerning the main motivations and drivers for the faculty to participate in distance education programs. The literature states that satisfaction of teaching and intellectual challenge is the primary intrinsic motivator for the faculty. Financial rewards and flexibility in teaching are the primary extrinsic motivators. Similarly this paper also studies the reasons that may act as inhibitors for the faculty to participate in distance education programs. These include concerns about the quality of the learning in a distance education program and increased workload that may arise due to the teaching in the distance education programs. The faculty may also be concerned about their competency in using technology while teaching in such distance education programs. If all the needs of the faculty are properly addressed, distance education programs enabled through technology have the potential to complement traditional face to face education.

Description

Over the last decade, the Indian economy has transitioned from an agrarian economy to a predominantly services-based economy with IT-ITES being a major component of the services sector. The IT-ITES sector's share of the GDP continues to grow steadily reaching 4.8% in 2005–2006 (Nasscom Strategic Review, 2006). The survey indicates that the Indian businesses are changing, requiring more effective solutions to deliver better value to the customers and maintain their position in a fiercely competitive scenario. Indian businesses during 2005–2006 were definitely at an inflection point in terms of deployment of information and communication technologies. Technology is increasingly being linked with organization strategy to improve performance of firms.
