ABSTRACT

The advent of information and communication technology in the art of communication has had a tremendous impact on all aspects of human endeavor. Information and communication technologies (ICT) have a huge impact on the entire life and functioning of our world. Its emergence has resulted in the wonderful gifts of modern science and technology, which have led to tremendous changes in many academic fields, including the communication arts. The introduction and acceptance of ICT in the teaching of art requires from lecturers an additional effort to understand and master modern media. It is a process that entails informing people about communication arts, monitoring the evolution of information and communication technologies; and determining how to use them purposefully in the educational process at school. The study concluded that the acceptance of ICT in teaching and learning of students in universities is becoming progressively more important and a global trend which Nigerian universities are not excluded among others. It was recommended that the approaches to the use of ICTs in education should be pursued holistically.
