Abstract: | Abstract: Integration of ICT into the teaching-learning process of higher
education is important for enhancing educational quality through facilitating
access to educational materials and knowledge as well as online services.
Higher learning institutions (HLIs) in developing nations have critical
capacity limitations in the areas of building ICT infrastructure that supports
their growing demand for providing ICT based services. This created
problem of digital divide among students in higher learning institutions as
compared to that of global HLIs. Public Private Partnerships (PPPs)
provide significant benefits in terms of leveraging joint resources, respective
competences and strengths for building and availing a shared ICT
infrastructure that ensures equitable access to digital technologies and high
quality educational resources. PPP models adopted for such educational
initiatives differ from the models that have been used for large infrastructure
projects. The purpose of this study was therefore, to identify possible areas
of public private partnerships and underlying principles in building and
creating equitable access to ICT infrastructure in educational institutions. |
