Abstract

This study provides an updated meta-analysis on the effects of using Information Technology (IT) in education. Fifty-eight experimental studies conducted on the application of IT in the classrooms were integrated and analyzed. Positive effect sizes were found for learning outcomes including academic achievement, knowledge retention, task performance, selfreported learning and self-efficacy. Further analysis revealed the main effects to be significantly moderated by several factors, categorized under learner and course characteristics.
