A comparison between quantity surveying and information technology students on web application in learning process

The use of web applications has become a trend in many disciplines including education. In view of the influence of web application in education, this study examines web application technologies that could enhance undergraduates’ learning experiences, with focus on Quantity Surveying (QS) and Inform...

Computer science The use of web applications has become a trend in many disciplines including education. In view of the influence of web application in education, this study examines web application technologies that could enhance undergraduates’ learning experiences, with focus on Quantity Surveying (QS) and Information Technology (IT) undergraduates. The objectives of the study are to determine the level of usage of educational related web applications by QS undergraduates and IT undergraduates, and to determine is there any statistically significant difference in the use of educational related web applications by QS undergraduates compare to IT undergraduates.

Descriptive statistics are used to determine the level of usage of each web application among the two groups of students.
