Abstract

In modern world, technology plays a very important role in enhancing learning outcome among students. Many research studies undertaken in the developed world have outlined the importance of technology in enhancing learning outcomes. Noting the same, Indian states like Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh etc. have resorted to provide digital devices to their students with the hope of enhancing their learning outcomes. In this context, it becomes all the more relevant to analyze the socio economic and academic factors influencing use of technology among students. This study analyses the factors affecting use of digital devices and their effectiveness in enhancing their learning outcomes among rural students. The study covered 4 districts, comprising a sample size of 465 respondents to assist in optimum policy formulation for rural students in developing world.
