CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Information
Technology had turn to a very significant tool in order to ease our
daily activities. Several organizations had accepted the use of
Information Technology as a tool that need to be understood, know the
concept, and have the ability to properly adapt its usage. Universities
are becoming familiar with the adaption of Information Technology in
their system. This is seen as a fuel that increases the speed of proper
academic activities and good administration in the University system.
Different infrastructures and technologies are utilized for processing
and transmitting data or information been captured. These infrastructure
and technology range from that of the University to that of the staff
and students, and these include devices such as mobile phones, personal
digital assistant, computers, radio, television, network communication
devices, satellite system, hardware and software, as well as other
different services and applications (Kumar, 2006).
The use of these
technologies which were designed for other purpose had found its way
into the educational environment. In such a way that nobody in the
educational institution is left out in regard to its usage, starting
from the top management, across the staff to the students. To some
researchers, it enhance academic activities while, other researchers
call it e-learning or embedded learning, whatever the terminology it is
called, the purpose is to make learning and knowledge gain easy for the
students and make learning assessment easier for the academic staff
while keeping effective and efficient record by management for various
usage. However, it has been observed that there are inadequate provision
of IT tools for an effective teaching and learning and also
contributing to the academics performance of office technology
management. With the use of computer and related technology, a special
way for learning assessment was devise and named Computer-Based Testing
or Computer-Based Assessment or e-examination. It is a way for
conducting, processing, recording and assessing examination in an
electronic format. As the name implies and adapted by federal
polytechnic Ede, Computer-Based Testing makes use of a computer in order
to assess students based on their courses of study. This computer could
be a stand-alone with a learning management system installed within a
local network or virtual learning environment which can be accessed
through the web.

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]This study was carried out to examine the influence of inadequate information technology on academic performance of OTM students using Federal Polytechnic, Ede. Specifically, the study examined if office technology students are access to information technology in other to boost their academic performance. The study also evaluate if there is a relationship between information technology and students of office technology management academic performance. The study further find out if students of of ...
