University students of the present generation consume information technologies much more at a faster rate compared to the previous generations. The availability of the multitasking Laptops, Smartphones, and so on has impacted learning in the present world. It is assumed that these technologies enhance productivity in students learning. There is probability that it is true that these technologies improve productivity, it is also assumed that in certain cases, these technologies could be diabolical.
Multitasking using ICT (Information and Communications Technology) has by and large created a big impact in learning. However, quite few studies have been carried out to investigate the impacts that multitasking using ICT has on learning.
There is a big need for studies to look into the direction at which these technologies are actually impacting students learning. The purpose of this paper is to use a questionnaire/survey, interview, and observations, and a test to examine how multitasking using various technologies impact or affects students during their course of learning in the classroom, and also when they are away from school, and proposes a suggestion for further improvement or investigation.
