THE CAMPUS AS A LEARNING SPACE: AN INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY EXPERIENCE

Abstract 

As  the  ownership  and  use  of  personal  technology  has  become  increasingly ubiquitous,  the  adoption  of  Information and  Communication Technology by higher education has continued to grow rapidly, with all Nigeria institutions integrating  technology  into  the  learning  experience.  Many  institutions  of higher education are creating learning spaces specifically designed to teach the innovation process through collaborative, multi-disciplinary and hands-on methods.  In  these  spaces,  learners  are  increasingly  leveraging  networked  “learning  ecologies”  of  ideas  and  people  through  both  virtual  and  direct methods.  The  introduction  of  technology  has  promised  increased  and enhanced  communication  and  interaction  for  learners  in  campus  and  for teaching  and  learning.  With  the  rapid  adoption  of  ICT  for  teaching  and learning, there is considerable interest in exploring the impact of technology on  student  learning.  Therefore,  it  is  recommended  that  there  should  be facilities  to  accommodate  ongoing  anticipated  and  technological  and pedagogic change.
