Abstract

This study examined the possible ways to enhance the utilization of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) by educators of tertiary institutions in Enugu State. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design, and the population consisted of 5,970 educators from both private and public tertiary institutions in Enugu State. A structured questionnaire on possible ways to enhance use of ICTs by educators was administered to 544 respondents selected from Six (6) different tertiary institutions in Enugu State. The collected data was later analyzed using Mean and standard deviation, while the hypothesis was tested using ANOVA at 0.05level of significance. The findings show that most of the participants agreed that the provision of relevant infrastructures and facilities such as steady electricity, good internet connection, functional computer systems and laboratories, increased investment in ICT, staff development programme, increased ICT awareness among educators and formulation of robust policies that support the use of ICT would go a long way to enhance the use of ICTs by educators of tertiary institutions in Enugu State. We concluded that the use of ICTs by educators has become more important than ever before due to the emerging trends in education, hence the need for relevant authorities to provide the supportive infrastructures to encourage and empower educators to integrate ICTs and other emerging educational technologies in the teaching and learning process.
