         The use of computer technology in the educational field has grown tremendously in the last forty years. Using computer technologies can be very beneficial in the learning process for students, as well as trainees in the training process.
Benefits of Computer Technology in Education and Training
One can see how computer technology plays a vital role in the field of education. With the constant development of new technology, it becomes more significant in helping out students in the classroom and training students for specific jobs. Some important uses of computer technology for education and training purposes are computers, computer software, and simulation programs. These technologies are helpful learning tools because they can do an excellent job in training and educating students, which would not be possible without these technologies. Because computer technology is being integrated more in the educational field, it is crucial for education and training purposes.
Computer technology has only been around in education and part of schools for about forty-five years now (“History, the history,” n.d.). At first, computer technology was not used specifically in classrooms, but it was used by administrators in schools. This happened in 1965, when the Elementary and Secondary Education Act brought money into schools for computer technologies, such as minicomputers and mainframes (“History, the history,” n.d.). Only some schools got minicomputers and mainframes and they were mostly used by the administration to store information about students on databases. As computers and other technologies became more accessible to schools, schools started to use them for educational purposes. In 1986, twenty-five percent of high schools used PCs for college and career guidance (“History, the history,” n.d.). Eventually, schools started to use PCs in the classrooms a lot more when computers began to be considered as a household item for the typical family. About two-thirds of public schools had Internet access by 1996, and by 2003, virtually every public school had Internet access (“Technology in education,” 2004). This shows that the growth of computer technology was becoming very significant to schools and would keep on growing. Between the years 1997 and 2007, the Internet became the world’s largest database of information available to society (“History, the history,” n.d.). Having access to the Internet and its unlimited supply of information, allows students to find information rapidly with just the click of a button .                  www.codersoftech.com

Reliance launches e-commerce platform JioMart across several cities

           BY   DIVAKAR KUMAR PANDAY     Reliance has finally launched its e-commerce portal JioMart for several cities across India after running a pilot for limited pin codes in Mumbai, a move that is set to change the current positioning of the online grocery delivery service in India which is currently dominated by Bigbasket and Grofers. The service is live across Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Delhi, Bengaluru, Jaipur, Trivandrum and some tier II cities as well. During the pilot, JioMart was working with a WhatsApp business account. The JioMart website has listed essential grocery items as well as farm produce. The fruits and vegetables will be directly sourced from farmers that have collaborated with the brand. So technically, it would also compete with micro delivery platforms such as Swiggy’s Suprdaily, BBDaily and Milkbasket, and also farm to fork businesses including Ninjacart and Crofarm. The  platform ...

Nearly 2,000 e-contents uploaded to Magadh University website: VC

          BY  DIVAKAR KUMAR PANDAY. Ever since the introduction of online teaching in Magadh University in mid-April, nearly 2000 e-contents have been uploaded to the university website, says vice chancellor Prof Rajendra Prasad and fresh uploads are being made for the benefit of students. The good thing, according to the VC was that students of other universities too can benefit from the study material available on the MU website. The colleges too have been directed to provide links of their online teaching programmes on their respective websites. “Conceding that online teaching cannot be a substitute to classroom interactions,” the VC said that the university has to adapt itself to the post-covid realities. E-learning was here to stay post Covid as well in the form of supplement to class room teaching, said Prof Rajendra Prasad. Whereas the performance of PG departments and constituent colleges have been satisfactory in the field of online teaching, the s...

IIT Roorkee professor develops software to detect COVID19 in 5 second..

A professor at IIT-Roorkee has developed a software, which he claimed, can detect COVID-19 within five seconds. Kamal Jain IIT Roorkee’s Civil Engineering Department claimed that he took 40 days to develop the software, which will not only reduce time, but also testing costs drastically. At present, it takes about 24 to 48 hours to get COVID19 test results, and costs around Rs 4,500. The IIT professor also claimed that the new software will also reduce the risk of exposure to healthcare professionals. However, there has been no verification of his claim by any medical institution, including the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR). But, Kamal Jain is confident about his software, and has already filed a patent for the technique, and has also approached the ICMR for a endorsement. He claimed to have developed an AI-based database, which can analyze more than 60,000 X-ray scans, including those of COVID19, pneumonia and TB patients in about five seconds. In the pro...
