With the help of various software's online tests can be done easily and the result, progress report and feedback can be received immediately . Use of ICT as Administration tool – The administration of any educational organization can be handled more efficiently with the help of various tools of ICT like CCTV, computers etc. Records can be maintained, updated and shared using ICT like Employees register, Library record, Progress reports, Students register, Placement cell , Alumni record, School campus record , Finance & accounts , Timetable etc.

7. 5. Research – With the help of various search engines and several web sites , doing research has become easy. Moreover with the help of internet a person can have access to any library of the world and can talk to eminent scholars using e-mails, chatting, video conferencing etc. Information can also be collected and stored in computer for research. Further, for analysis and reporting, computer can also be used. With the facilities of Internet, Website, and INFLIBNET , the researchers as well as a learner wanting to inquire or find out something that is happening elsewhere can have access to a large amount of information sitting at home.

8. 6. Mass education : There has been explosion of population and knowledge. There is, therefore, a need to educate the masses. The problem is multiplied further by having a large section of illiterate people . So, ICT has a tremendous application to educate a large section of people and to impart a large amount of knowledge in a limited span of time. In this regard, the mass media viz., TV, radio, and other modern technologies like computers and information technology (E-mail, internet, mobile, etc.) has a lot of scope. The illiterate masses can also be made literate with the help of innovative methods and practices of teaching and learning.

Today there is a great need for personnel training and education on regular basis for updating oneself in the field of work. In this regard, distance education programmes , a relatively less formal process of education, have acquired new status. Educational technology with its innovative practices can educate the learners who cannot come to the classroom setup for their education. In this regard programmed learning materials, modules and counseling are some innovations which can help distance learners.

10. 8. Collection, storing and retrieval of information : There are digital cameras and mobiles which provide us the facility to take same photographs of events that take place in a fraction of second . There are also satellites that work for us day and night to provide us information about places which are not accessible to us. Information can be collected with the help of this new electronic technology both in audio and in video form . Such information can be stored with magnetic and electronic devices easily and can be retrieved within no time.

Computer technology in this regard plays the main role. This can provide a lifelike picture of phenomena in three dimensions (3D). It can also show the operation of different parts of a phenomenon and the consequences. The other possibility is games. Children can learn, through play, many concepts that just cannot be taught in the formal set of the classroom.
