Tools of ict in teaching and learning at public and private universities of yemen: A comparative study

Abstract

This is an exhaustive study on the use of ICT tools in teaching and learning in the public and private universities in Yemen. The purpose of this study was to ascertain the scope of ICT usage among students; and to assess the problems and challenges they have to address in utilizing this facility. The researcher prepared a questionnaire to gather data from a group of 360 students from six private universities and 360 students from three public universities of Yemen. This was to obtain answers for four important questions. The data were collected, analyzed, sorted and tabulated and found a disparity in the usage of ICT tools by students of Public and Private Universities. Apart from this, aversion towards acclimatizing with new technologies is one of the factors causing this inadequacy.
