- Abstract
- Technology has been revolutionized in the past few decades and its impacts on student learning have not been fully explored. The digital divide between a student's personal technology usage and its use within the classroom remains to be bridged. This study focuses on using technology-based innovative teaching methods with engineering classes and understanding their impact on students. The findings suggest that these learners benefited from and prefer to use innovative teaching methods backed by technology support in class. Students deprived of such innovative methods and technology would prefer to have them introduced to aid their learning experience. The study strengthens the need for decision makers in educational institutions to invest in innovative teaching methods supported by technology in order to provide a better learning platform for students, particularly in India, where engineering graduates are regarded as lacking essential skills in communication and innovation.
