Abstract

The rapid growth of information and communication technologies (ICT) has made the Internet an essential resource in higher education. This study examines the usage patterns of Internet resources and services among Physical Education and Sports Science faculty members in nine universities in Tamil Nadu. Using a survey method, 207 questionnaires were distributed, of which 146 valid responses were analyzed. The findings reveal that most faculty members are habitual Internet users, with Assistant Professors leading in regular use. Gender and age differences were observed, with males and younger faculty showing higher usage levels. The most common services used were e-mail, search engines, e-books, e-journals, and communication tools such as SMS and chatting. Gmail was the most popular e-mail service, while Dogpile/MSN/others ranked higher than Google among search engines. The study concludes that Internet resources have significantly enhanced teaching, research, and self-learning, while also emphasizing the need for continuous ICT integration in higher education.
