The study outcome shows that there is a significant difference towards the variable of knowledge and interaction to both groups of students. The study finding also demonstrates that there is a significant difference between ICT knowledge and the aspect of student demography. The Pearson correlation analysis also shows that there is a significant relationship between the level of motivation and student interactions and the level of knowledge and student interaction.
