Abstract:
This study investigated the impact of ICT three initiatives as perceived by Wiawso College of Education tutors at an independent school in Sefwi Wiawso. A qualitative data was gathered for this Case Study by administering questionnaire to 43 tutors of the college and two administrative staff. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics. First and foremost, evidence was found of an overall increase in the use of ICT since the three initiatives were implemented. Secondly, the provision of personal access to a desktop computer was perceived by the teachers to have had the most impact on improving the use of ICT. However, the inclusion of Ubuntu operating systems to Windows operating was perceived by the majority of teachers as having a negative influence on their use and development of ICT. On the basis of the findings, some recommendations were made; the National Council for Tertiary Education should be made to assist the college by providing more ICT equipment and its accessories. Also, all future ICT professional development program should be based on learning strategies that make a difference in daily practice. Skilled based training should be conducted informally as and when it is needed.
