Description

Although the phenomenon of technology is gradually being integrated into tertiary education in Ghana, challenges
impeding effective integration are endemic in an environment where organizational culture is determinant. Challenges include
lack of devices and cost involved, network and data bundle and incessant power supply. Organisational culture and mind-set of
the key actors towards integration of technology, is an imminent challenge. From the Interpretivist paradigm, this is an
exploratory study of the perspectives of Policy-makers towards the organisational culture and challenges of integration.
Qualitative method through in-depth interviews was adopted in six (6) accredited public universities. The study found that,
generally there is a culture of support for integration of technology and Lack of devices and costs involved were the biggest
challenge to both lecturers and students. Network and Connectivity is the most wide-spread institutional mechanism that has been
put in place in the public universities.
