Journal Title: International Journal of Physical and Social Sciences (IJPSS) - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 9
Abstract
A tremendous growth in the higher education sector had made the administration of higher education institutions complex. Many researches reveal that the integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) helps to reduce the complexity and enhance the overall administration of higher education. The paper is centered on availability and utilization of ICT tools and infrastructure in two selected academic institutions Institute of Finance Management (IFM) and Institute of Rural Development Planning (IRDP). Data were collected from 320 respondents which comprised with 256 students and 64 academic staffs. Data were mainly collected using questionnaire. The result shows that IRDP and IFM had a minimum number of ICT equipments such as computers and projectors that are used in the training, communication and learning. The study reveals that there are several factors that favor ICT tools utilization such as inadequate books in the Library, adaptability, availability of technical support to mention few.
