1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Information revolution started a number of years ago and the role all the world has been good.
This
revolution has brought about convergence of information communication
technologies (ICT), which have remained at the centre of global, social
and economic transformation. The information revolution and
extraordinary increase in the spread of knowledge and information which
affects directly economic, social, cultural and political activities of
all regions of the world including Africa. Information and communication
technology (ITC) is defined as computer-based tools used by people to
work with the information and communication processing needs of an
organization, it encompasses the hardware and software, the network and
several other devices (video audio, everalphy camera) that convert
information (text) images, sounds motion and others into common digital
form.
ICT has made the shift from print to digital information
possible which has created an impact on students’ academic records and
information centres (Gbaje 2009).
This has enable on-line access and
file transfer possible, with networking and resource sharing. Islam and
Islam (2006) says that ICT as the role and publication of computers,
telecommunication and microelectronics in the acquisition, storage,
retrieval transfer and dissemination of information in students,
academic records.
ICT is a significant development that provides
effective took for managing the available of information generated in
students, academic records. The prevalence and rapid development of ICT
has transformed students’ information technology age to the knowledge.
In
modern ICT based on students the information professionals handle
various types of activities in relation to the role of computers and
other new information technologies. Before the advent of information and
communication technology. (ICT) is students academic records were the
sole custodies of information which was predominantly in print. Today
students’ academic record is struggling to keep their place as the major
source of inquiry in the face of emerging digital technology.
In the
modern world, the student’s academic record as information centres can
hardly function today without computer and information technologies.
In
the overview, the role of information and communication technology
(ICT) systems in student’s academic record and information centres in
common place all over the world.
This research work is therefore
centered on the role of ICT as it enhanced the management of student’s
academic record in Federal Polytechnic Nekede Owerri.
1.2 BRIEF HISTORY OF FEDERAL POLYTECHNIC NEKEDE OWERRI
