The Objective of this study are to emphasize the impact of technology on diversity of Arts Education and identify the challenges faced by students to equip themselves with technical proficiency to decode the course materials. Findings of this study have identified that the modern technology can positively impact on the diversity of Arts Education but the existing practical challenges badly effect on the diversity of the stream. It can then be concluded that, the both faculties in the university have identified the potentials that ICT presents to education, but the implementation of these new technologies took them by surprise without adequate preparations.
