An Empirical study on effectiveness in simulations using Digital Media in Finance class room

Digital media has been used both as a tool for learning and destruction of one‟s self among students today. An attempt to make it as a learning tool was tried in the Finance class in a college. When the news of ban on cell phones in class is brought in by the government, a redirection of the user can enhance the better use rather than a complete suppression of using cell phone among college students. Also importance of digital media has been proved by the use of cell phone in abundance these days. Though it works as a menace it has its own advantages. We converted our class room into a trading floor in Finance class and worked on stock market simulation. This paper is an empirical study based on the survey of the participants in simulation in a class of 30 students. It studies the learning process among the students using digital media and analyses the response using correlation.
