Digital learning has opened the doors of a new classroom and has made knowledge and information accessible to everyone in any corner of the globe.

Normative survey method was employed for data collection. The Attitude towards using Cyber Resources scale constructed and standardized by Dr. S. Rajasekar (2010) was used for data collection.
