Abstract
Globally, technology has
affected the ways people perform tasks. This is the reason for this study,
“multimedia technologies usage by office technology and management students in
tertiary institutions." Descriptive survey research design was adopted
with a population of 1,013. The sample size was 279, using Krechie and Morgan
Table for determining a sample of a known population. Self-developed
questionnaire of five point rating scale was used. Face and contents validity were established using the opinions of
three experts with trial-test on 23 office
technology and management students. Data collected were analyzed using Cronbach
Alpha with coefficient values of 0.89 and 88. Out of 279 copies of
questionnaire distributed, 260 were correctly filled, retrieved, and used for
data analysis. Arithmetic mean and standard deviation were used to analyze data
from research questions and spread in respondents’ views. Inferential
statistics of independent sample t-test was used to test the two null
hypotheses. Findings revealed that there were high level of challenges faced by
office technology and management students in the use of multimedia technologies,
and that adequate funding, provision of adequate facilities, organizing
training and retraining exercises for educators were strategies to overcome the
challenges. Among other things, it was recommended students should engage in
multimedia technologies certificate programmes with funding via part time jobs.
Parents should also ensure that learners have good ICT background before
admission and during schooling periods to enable them acquire the needed
multimedia technological skills for jobs creation.
