In today’s world information and communication technology (ICT) plays a crucial role in all our lives every day. In thecurrent digital age, many organizations across the globe make use of ICT as a tool to facilitate teaching and learning(1). This technology is used to enable the end-user to access content material offered online by portable devicessuch as smartphone, laptops and so on, which are used for information, speed, and communication anywhereand anytime without physically visiting the location where the service is offered. With the use of ICT, e-commercecomes into play, which enables the end-user to send emails, do on-line shopping instead of market shopping, andswitch over from classroom learning to e-learning, where class are conducted over the internet. In the Namibianeducation system, higher institutions of learning use traditional methods of teaching, which is concerned with theteacher/lecturer being the controller of the learning environment. Hence, power and responsibility are held by theteacher/lecturer and they play the role of an instructor (in the form of lecturers) and decision maker (in regard tocurriculum content and specific outcomes through different types of teaching methods such as teacher-centeredmethods, learner-centered methods, content-focused methods, and interactive/participative methods, which aredone on face-to-face mode of teaching and learning without embedding fully ICT infrastructures that supportteaching and learning).
