Literature Review
Using computer and internet in education
Computers have been considered as the most important component for development.
Various computer applications have been utilized in trade, health, scientific and education
sectors. Growth in internet technology ion the computer has been helping in enhancing the
education approach in the schools and universities (Maier, Wolf & Randler, 2016). Computer
training centres have been started in many schools and university in which advanced
computer technology have been used for education purposes. Education sector has been
modernised with the use of internet technology and computer assistance.
Traditional approach of education system has been focused on the physical learning
on black or white board, books, copies and pens. However, this has been getting old in

4DETERMINING THE FEASIBILITY OF THE COMPUTER ASSISTED EDUCATION
education system. Students have to attend their classes in schools and universities. This
create problems as they have to invest a lot of time in travelling. Students gets bored by
listening boring lectures and books. Therefore, the tendency of students to learn and practice
theories and practical have been minimized. The quality of education in the schools and
universities have been declining with traditional approach (Short & Huang, 2016). However,
with the use of computer and internet in the education institution, it has become possible for
maintaining a keen approach in the study. The internet has been helping in initiating digital
classrooms in educational institutions. Digital classrooms have been helping in understanding
studies in a digitalized form. All the materials and theories have been preinstalled in the
memory and projected over projectors (Luiselli & Fischer, 2016). This help in creating visual
image among students. Students are comfortable to understand their studies. The feasibility of
computer assisted education has been gaining importance in the educational institute in order
to maintain a keen approach. The educational institution has been integrated with modern
computer applications and internet technology that have been helping in minimizing
complexity in education. There have been various e-books, online journals and articles that
have been available over the internet that are replacing offline books causing boredom to
students (Singolia & Christian, 2017). Students have been enjoying new e-books containing
graphical content and pictorial view that helps in proper understanding of the topic. The use
of the online books and journals have been maintaining a proper approach in education
industry.
The use of computer in education industry has been helping in motivating all the
issues for students who cannot attend their classes in their institution. Many institution have
been developing advanced technology for enhancing distance education for students (Raji,
2018). Computer assisted education system has helped in providing online classes to those

students at any time with the use of internet. Therefore, internet has been playing an
important role in maintaining a keen approach to the enhance education industry.
Research Methodology
Research Design
There are three types of research design including explanatory, exploratory and
descriptive research design. Explanatory research design focuses on explaining all
components of the research topic in the study (Taylor, Bogdan & DeVault, 2015).
Exploratory research design refers to exploring more knowledge in the related field.
However, both of them do not come to a conclusion regarding the research topic (Lai et al.,
2015). The research will select descriptive research design. Descriptive research design
focuses in the descriptive analysis of every component of the computer assisted education. It
mainly focuses on the objectives of the research initiated in the first section. Descriptive
research design help in providing a conclusion to the research dine in the study. With the help
of computer aided education, distance education has become prominent in the recent years
(Azimi & Naim, 2015). The theoretical approach of the computer assisted education will be
understood by this research design. Descriptive research design will help in analysing
different aspects of the use of computer in education industry.
Research Technique
There are two types of research technique including quantitative and qualitative
technique. Either of the technique can be used by the researcher to continue in the research.
Quantitative technique is used in which numerical data and statistics are required for data
analysis. However, qualitative technique is used where descriptive and theoretical perspective
of data is required.

6DETERMINING THE FEASIBILITY OF THE COMPUTER ASSISTED EDUCATION
Quantitative technique will be used by the researcher in this research as there will be
requirement of numeric data of participants (Bates, 2016). The collected data source will be
primary data collection method. Therefore, numeric data of the participants will be required
for data analysis section.
Data Collection Method
Data collection method has been an important part of the study. Data collection have
been divided into two categories including primary and secondary method of data collection
method. Primary data collection method deals with the raw data related to the research study.
Primary data can be collected from organizing online survey with participants (Coleman et
al., 2015). The secondary data collection can be done using secondary sources including
online journals, books, articles and governmental databases.
However, this research will select primary data collection method for collecting data
and information of the research. Online survey will be organized using 50 students of various
educational institutes. There will be 10 close ended questions included in survey
questionnaire that will be in the form of Likert Scale and will range in between 1 to 5. The
survey questionnaire will be created using google forms and shared with the participants
using the online mailing services.
Data Analysis
Data analysis can be divided into two types including quantitative and qualitative data
analysis method. Quantitative data analysis method deals with data collection from primary
data sources (Felix, 2018). Qualitative data analysis deals with data collection from
secondary data sources. However, in this research, quantitative data analysis method will be
selected as data has been collected from primary data collection method (Lewis, 2015).
Results and outcomes will be published using tables and graphs. The development of the

7DETERMINING THE FEASIBILITY OF THE COMPUTER ASSISTED EDUCATION
tables and graphs will be done through the analyse option of SPSS and frequency tables will
be used for development of the tables and graphs. The presentation of the pictorials for the
demographic data will be in the form of bar charts and the inferential data will be presented
in the form of bar charts.
