| Technological advancement in education sector has direct impact on the style and efficacy of delivery and utilization of educational content. Various novel communication and information technology-based tools and resources have enabled efficient, timely delivery of diverse academic concepts. Wearable Technology is one such technology, which has many potential applications. Wearable Technology-based gadgets are now influencing every dimension of human life. In the case of higher education, the use of Wearable Technology remains largely experimental. The purpose of this research is twofold; firstly, to examine students’ attitudes towards the use of the Wearable Technology and secondly, to determine if attitudes towards the use of Wearable Technology differ, based on learning style. The results of the study found significant effect of learning style on the use/adaptation of Wearable Technology in teaching and learning among Indian post graduate students. |
