How Information Technologies Help in the Educational Process of Higher Educational Institutions

Abstract

Information technology (IT) inclusion into service delivery is increasingly viewed as a unique approach to assist the modernization of institutions around the globe. Furthermore, due to significant concomitant expenditures in IT, certain organizations in underdeveloped nations, like Rome, have found that IT does not bring critical output to university services. As a result, university managers seem to have a lot of concerns about IT-organizational integration. The tactical, sociocultural, and technical aspects of this integration are considered. Numerous precursors (synchronization techniques) for achieving an adequate suit among IT and institutions have been proposed in the literature for successful IT-institutional synchronization. Furthermore, a number of researches on IT alignment concentrated primarily on normal commercial enterprises, and there is still a dearth of comparable study that concentrates on higher education institutions. In order to accomplish its dual objectives, this study first sought to investigate the nature of IT inclusion into universities before going on to suggest a contextual approach for IT-institutional synchronization in the setting of universities. After assessing the current situation and obstacles associated with IT inclusion into education, training, investigation, and university administration, an IT-Institutional Alignment Model (ITIAM) was also offered as the study's key output. Thus, by implementing the idea of IT alignment inside the context of universities and by articulating the contextual synchronization methods that have been experimentally evaluated and are described.
