Integrated Communication

A lot of research questions are surrounding the implementation of the concept of integrated communication and possible solution may be a process of evolutionary developed integration as well as a new understanding of strategic planning directed by an outside-in view. The movement toward outside-in development seems to be one of the greatest transformations and the mostly difficult to overcome obstacle. This process has started together with the boom of information and communication technology and has still been in a nascent state, which is related to tremendous energy condensation and the greatest potency in a new age. However, difficulties of measurement are not helpful for building an original wholeness of theoretical and methodological premises of integrated communication. Thus, the article is aimed to introduce some initial findings about the cultivation of the "tulip rose” (Rosengren, 1989, 28) in this research field of reinvented and redesigned communication.

The University

The study was carried out to assess the undergraduate Business Education Students’ Perception on the use of Information and communication technology (ICT) in teaching and learning in the University. Thus, to achieve the purpose, two research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. A sample of 100 students was randomly drawn using balloting and proportionate stratified random sampling techniques. A questionnaire of 4-point scale was used to collect data. It has face validity determined through expert judgement, and construct validity verified through factor analysis. The reliability of the instrument was obtained through Cronbach Alpha. A reliability coefficient of 0.82 was obtained as a measure of internal consistency. The data collected were analyzed with mean and Z-test. Mean was used to answer the research questions while Z-test was used to test the hypotheses at the 0.05 level of significance. The result showed that there was high perception of students to use ICT in teaching and learning in the university. There was no significant difference between male and female students as well as 300 level and 400 level students on the use of ICT in teaching and learning.

This paper aimed at assessing the availability, accessibility and utilization of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) resources in content delivery among lecturers of FCEs in Nigeria. Three research questions were drawn to guide the study. A Survey research design was adopted in conducing the study. The population of the study comprises of all the lecturers in Federal Colleges of Education in Nigeria. They are five thousand and seventy one (5,071) in number. A sample size of eight hundred and forty three (843) lecturers was used for the study. They were selected using cluster, simple random and proportional sampling techniques. A modified questionnaire tagged Teachers ICT usage survey from the ICT Survey Indicator for teachers and staff developed by both UNESCO (2004) and the New Zealand Ministry of Education (MINEDU) (1999) was used for data collection. Frequency count was used to answer research questions. The findings of this study revealed that ICT resources are not available in Federal Colleges of Education in Nigeria. It was also revealed that ICT resources which were supposed to be used in content delivery in FCE were not accessible. This study recommends, among others, that the Government, NCCE and the managements of FCE should join hands to ensure that computer laboratories are available in FCE in Nigeria with adequate functional computer hardware and software and functional internet facilities that will enhance the standard of content delivery.
