As technology has become a part of our everyday lives, including our educational
institutions, it will definitely have an impact on the teaching and learning. The
premise is that the use of ICTs has the ability to transform teaching and learning
effectively if it is implemented constructively. The research is to ascertain whether
Facebook is used for academic purposes as well as the integration of other
Information and Communications Technologies. The study was conducted with a
group of lecturers at the University of the Witwatersrand. Data was collected by
conducting semi-structured interviews. The interviews were audio-recorded and
transcribed at a later stage. Common themes were identified. Positivity about the
implementation of ICTs as well as institutional support is imperative for lecturers to
continue their commitment to the process.
