I. INTRODUCTION

In the traditional teaching and learning process, the student has to go to educational institutions, attend lectures and acquire personal knowledge from the teachers. However, with the extensive use of ICT, online technology, e-publishing, and open access advancements in scholarly communication in higher education throughout the globe, the education system has transitioned from conventional to distance and e-learning. In the wake of COVID-19 epidemic, online learning and courses are increasingly being more integrated into the educational sector. Educational boards have mandated the delivery of online courses at the basic education, college and university levels. As a result, the number of people using the web application has increased.

According to Morgil (2021), Web technology is only one of several media options for assisting individuals in their learning. It’s a tool for student engagement that’s becoming more common in educational settings. Due to this substantial developments in communication and information technology over the last decade, education has experienced several important changes. As a result, the move from old educational techniques to contemporary ones centered on e-learning programs was followed by a true reform of the traditional model of education, transforming it into a more modernized manner including sophisticated educational technology.

Following the development of the World Wide Web, various open-source and free-to-use apps such as Sky Drive, Drop Box, Google Apps, and Google Drive were created. They exhibit a user-friendly design as well as a powerful set of functions. Furthermore, since they have gained digital abilities, young instructors are more likely to employ technology resources in the instructional process. For example, by spreading school events, Facebook enhanced communication and involvement among students. Web applications have a significant impact on student involvement throughout the educational process and encourage creative approaches to learning. Sensors, smart gadgets, mobile applications, and Internet services may all help to improve the educational experience.
