Makale Özeti:
|
Zimbabwe Distance Open University is enrols students from both urban and rural settings.
The majority of students living and working in rural areas have limited or no access to
computers and electricity as a result the use of information and communication
technology (ICT) in the learning process is very limited. Though government has realized
the importance of developing ICT for learning purposes, in practice very little has
materialized in the provision of the ICT technology especially in rural areas. The majority
of Zimbabwe Open University students have expressed difficulties in coping with their
studies partly due to lack of supplementary reading materials from internet.
The research will use a descriptive survey method to extract information regarding use of
ICT from students living in rural areas and those in urban areas. Observation on what
actually takes place in the library and learning process will be highlighted by the
researching team comprising three lecturers who all work for ZOU. A contrastive
approach will be used to compare the performance of students with access to internet
with those without access to internet. Interviews of ZOU students and lecturers will be
used to collect data.
