Role of ICT in Higher Education

For the past twenty years, the use of ICT has fundamentally changed the practices and procedures of nearly all forms of activities within business and governance. Organizations especially educational institutions are increasingly investing in the use of information and communication technology (ICT) to support all aspects of organizational work from group work to individual teaching, training and learning. ICT is used not only for the delivery of lectures and materials, but also for administration and management purposes. Traditional libraries now converted to resource center with the use ICT. Teaching students at universities must avoid the traditional styles that students were familiar with at high school. Although ICT may be available at high schools, its use at higher education is completely different, because teaching at university level will use ICT in different ways to meet the objectives of mature students.
