As the construction industry advances technologically, it becomes imperative to introduce the respective IT tools in the present day curriculum. The following research study was conducted to examine if there is any significant difference in student's performance, as a result of using an IT tool, in this case a mobile tablet device with a blueprint reading application, PlanGrid. The test results show that the use of technology does enhance student's performance, as students who used the IT tool performed better on the test. Statistical analysis showed a statistically significant difference between the two test results. The treatment group answered a usability survey. The usability survey helped in comprehending how students perceived the IT tool in terms of its usability. |
