The Value of ICT in Higher Education

Abstract

For years higher education institutions have used the potential of information and communication technologies with normality in teaching, research and management.  Substantial amounts of money have been invested to guarantee access, for more or less intensive use, to the basic technological infrastructures that universities need today. Often these investments have not been guided by a strategic plan that would make them sustainable over time and the results of this lack of planning and its consequences have been felt in many educational institutions over the last few years.
