The Role, Impact, and Usage of Information Technology in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Pakistan

Abstract

There are two chief objectives of this article. The first object is to get assess and possible issues from three claimed fundamental levels of the digital divide for Pakistan. Secondly, this study explains their main aspects as determinants and their implications, a procedure that provide critical lessons on learning and consequences in Pakistan. This study starts by describing the three levels of digital segregation and their importance in Pakistan’s higher education (access, use, resources, and processes). The first issue seems to be the difference in the accessible ICT equipment (access split). The second issue is resources and processes (for example, Market Dynamics and Community Policies). The third appears to be used (split use). The use factor also includes the use of ICT in the education sector and the level that is likely to reduce labor costs. Critical assessment of the above-mentioned domains could point to the access, role, impact, use, and contribution of Information Technology to the courses and provision of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Pakistan. Similar studies in developed countries such as Europe, the USA, and Australia have identified the above domains as the main reasons for analyzing and addressing these issues of access, use, and digital segregation. This is one of the reasons to draw attention. Significantly, the use of ICT is very important in many aspects, for example creating information, sharing, and public participation as important tools for Universities. Finally, in Pakistan, the project seeks to address ICT-related issues of production competition as seen in European higher education institutions. Therefore, this work will provide some possible explanations for the technological advances that occur because of the loss of older employees to their employment opportunities.
