The Impact of the Internet on Research and Instruction in Universities of East Africa

This survey study focused on the impact of Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) on the higher educational sector, particularly the impact of the internet in research and instruction in the East African Universities, namely University of Dar-es-Salaam, Makerere University and Kenyatta University. The study offers Daly's theoretical grounding which assumes a reductionist approach to analysis of data. It thus computes the overall impact of the internet on a system as a composite aggregate of the impact on constituent subsystems.
