Abstract

The education sector without information technology is like a man with no eyes. It plays a vital role in the development of the education sector. This study examines how the covid 19 has positively expanded information technology in the education sector, especially in higher education institutes, and the primary usage of information technology in the higher education institutes. A qualitative based on conceptual analysis was used to address the said issue based on the secondary data in the literature. This study found that due to the emergence of the covid 19, information technology usage in higher education institutes has increased rapidly. There are three main domains for higher education institutes to use information technology: teacher-to-student real-time interaction for the classes, teacher-to-student transfer of educational materials, and students-to-administration contacts.
